I was trying to setup a file share between AIX and widnows servers. I have installed cifs filesets on my AIX LPAR. but when i was trying to mount the share on AIX , got the below errors.
I tried with all combinations by cleaning the file "cifscred". But still got the error.
Can any one of you used CIFS on AIX for file sharing purpose? If i can achieve fileshare using CIFS, then i may not go for samba server.
Please provide your ideas.
Thanks

I had to search through various web sites with a similar problem. I have 2 identical AIX 6.1 servers, same LPARS, same TL level. One would allow me to connect to the share (Windows 2003), but the other box would throw:
In the end I checked my /etc/hosts files. The first server had:
10.137.ip1.ip2 server1.domain
and it would allow me to connect using the IP address.
The other box had:
10.137.ip1.ip2 server1.domain
and would not allow me to use the IP address. However, I can use the fully qualified domain name. Some inconsistency here, because 2 different servers have similar settings.
I then added:
10.137.ip1.ip2 server1server1.domain
and these commands work:
This one however does not work:
Both servers are in a local LAN and no firewalls in the way, just the IP address could not be used on one the servers. I think the way a server is defined in /etc/hosts has an impact, check how many lines you have for the same server in which order, etc.
I hope this may help some people resolve a similar issue.
