CIFS/SMB mount NetApp (Windows) fileshare

Hi guys,

I'm trying to mount a windows share (hosted on a NetApp filer with clustered Ontap 8.3) and I have no luck doing it.

This worked before when we used an old NetApp with Ontap 7.3.

Seems there is an issue with ASCII/non-unicode support.

I'm wondering if anybody here has mounted a share sitting on a NetApp from an AIX.


Please let me know the command with you had luck doing it.

Btw: No problem mouting the share from Windows 2000 - 2012R2 or Windows XP - 8.1, also works fine with Ubuntu 14.04 and Suse Linux 13.2.

Many thanks!

Hi,

could you provide us more detail information.
What means windows share hosted on a Netapp?
NFS, Samba(cifs), which version, which authentification mechanism, mount command, error message...?

Regards

NetApp uses CIFS to provide access to the files/folders.
It`s joined to the domain and acts as a windows server.


Data ONTAP CIFS services support four styles of user authentication.
Choose the one from the list below that best suits your situation.

(1) Active Directory domain authentication (Active Directory domains only)
(2) Windows NT 4 domain authentication (Windows NT or Active Directory domains)
(3) Windows Workgroup authentication using the filer's local user accounts
(4) /etc/passwd and/or NIS/LDAP authentication

We use (1)


The problem is that I have not access to the AIX system.
The command the guy uses is:
Code:
mount -v cifs -n ip-of-netapp-/share/user:Password -o rw,uid=21000,gid=20000,fmode=775,wrkgrp=domain share /share


I was hoping somebody can post the command they are using.


Thanks!

Hi,

could you try to mount this share with smbmount (part of samba package) instead of default AIX (cifs) mount?

Ok,

is this command syntax ok?
Code:
mount -t smbfs -o username=<name>,password=<passwd> //sambashare /mountpoint

Thanks!

No, that looks like the Linux syntax (and an obsolete Linux syntax at that, -t cifs is modern now).

Hmm ok,

could you tell me what is the latest CIFS and SMB version for AIX?
For SMB I found this: V3.6.24

Thanks!
