Identifying active CIFS sessions that should be terminated

Before performing a nondisruptive upgrade or downgrade, you should identify and gracefully terminate any CIFS sessions that are not continuously available.

About this task

Continuously available CIFS shares, which are accessed by Hyper-V or Microsoft SQL Server clients using the SMB 3.0 protocol, do not need to be terminated before upgrading or downgrading.
  1. Identify any established CIFS sessions that are not continuously available: vserver cifs session show -continuously-available Yes -instance
    This command displays detailed information about any CIFS sessions that have no continuous availability. You should terminate them before proceeding with the ONTAP upgrade or downgrade.

    Example

    TDC-DM7K::> vserver cifs session show -continuously-available Yes -instance

    Node: TDC-7K-01
    Vserver: vs1
    Session ID: 1
    Connection ID: 4160072788
    Incoming Data LIF IP Address: 198.51.100.5
    Workstation IP address: 203.0.113.20
    Authentication Mechanism: NTLMv2
    Windows User: CIFSLAB\user1
    User: nobody
    Open Shares: 1
    Open Files: 2
    Open Other: 0
    Connected Time: 8m 39s
    Idle Time: 7m 45s

    Continuously Available: No
    1 entry was displayed.


  2. If necessary, identify the files that are open for each CIFS session that you identified: vserver cifs session file show -session-id session_ID

    Example

    TDC-DM7K::> vserver cifs session file show -session-id 1

    Node: TDC-7K-01
    Vserver: vs1
    Connection: 4160072788
    Session: 1
