CIFS only: Creating a CIFS server

If the source SVM has CIFS configuration, and you chose to set identity-preserve to false , you must create a CIFS server for the destination SVM. CIFS server is required for some CIFS configurations, such as shares during initialization of the SnapMirror relationship.

  1. Start the destination SVM by using the vserver start command.

    Example

    destination_cluster::> vserver start -vserver dvs1
    [Job 30] Job succeeded: DONE
  2. Verify that the destination SVM is in the running state and subtype is dp-destination by using the vserver show command.

    Example

    destination_cluster::> vserver show
                                       Admin      Operational Root
    Vserver  Type    Subtype           State      State       Volume     Aggregate
    -------- ------- ----------       ---------- ----------- ---------- ----------
    dvs1     data    dp-destination    running    running       -         -
  3. Create a LIF by using the network interface create command.

    Example

    destination_cluster::>network interface create -vserver dvs1 -lif NAS1 -role data -data-protocol cifs -home-node destination_cluster-01 -home-port a0a-101  -address 192.0.2.128 -netmask 255.255.255.128
  4. Create a route by using the network route create command.

    Example

    destination_cluster::>network route create -vserver dvs1 -destination 0.0.0.0/0 
    -gateway 192.0.2.1

  5. Configure DNS by using the vserver services dns create command.

    Example

    destination_cluster::>vserver services dns create -domains mydomain.example.com -vserver 
    dvs1 -name-servers 192.0.2.128 -state enabled
  6. Add the preferred domain controller by using the vserver cifs domain preferred-dc add command.

    Example

    destination_cluster::>vserver cifs domain preferred-dc add -vserver dvs1 -preferred-dc 
    192.0.2.128 -domain mydomain.example.com
  7. Create the CIFS server by using the vserver cifs create command.

    Example

    destination_cluster::>vserver cifs create -vserver dvs1 -domain mydomain.example.com
    -cifs-server CIFS1

  8. Stop the destination SVM by using the vserver stop command.

    Example

    destination_cluster::> vserver stop -vserver dvs1
    [Job 46] Job succeeded: DONE
