Hi!
I am trying to understand how the max_mpx setting should be handled when having multiple vfilers.
In a Citrix environment this should be increased, but it looks like the "Max Multiplex" from the "cifs stat"
command are higher than the cifs.max_mpx setting.
Are this somehow shared between vfilers, or do each vfiler have their own separate mecanism for this?
I have seen recomendations to set it high initially (1124) when running Citrix, and others wants to fine
tune..
Has vfiler0 max_mpx setting any influence on the vfilers?'

The max_mpx setting is set separately per vFiler. The setting in vfiler0 does not affect non-default vfilers.
http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/ontap/rel801/html/ontap/cmdref/man1/na_options.1.htm
cifs.max_mpx This option controls how many simultaneous operations the filer reports that it can process. An "operation" is each I/O the client believes is pending on the filer including outstanding change notify operations. Clients such as Windows Terminal Server or IIS may require that this number be increased to avoid errors and performance delays.
CAUTION - The approved values for this parameter are 50, 126, 253, and 1124. The most accurate way to determine which number to use is to measure the Redirector-Current Commands statistic on the client with NT perfmon and to increase the number until Current Commands does not hit the negotiated limit. For more information see Microsoft Knowledge Base articles Q191370 and Q232890.
CAUTION - This number should only be changed while cifs is terminated.
CAUTION - Only use the approved values to avoid Q232890.
CAUTION - This value affects allocations in the clients. Use the smallest value necessary for correct behavior.
Default: 50
Values: 50, 126, 253, 1124
Effective: Immediately
Persistence: Remains in effect across system reboots
VFILER CONSIDERATIONS
Each vfiler has its own set of options. Vfilers, however, recognize only a subset of the options recognized by a filer. The list of options recognized by a vfiler are:

These options only affect the operation of the concerned vfiler. When run in the context of a vfiler, (e.g. via the vfiler run command), the options command only prints the options recognized by a vfiler, and can only change these options.

Thanks!
Now I see from the 8.0.1 Release notes that the default cifs.max_mpx value has changed to 255??
How does this compute, are there also new rules for the default values?
How does this relate to vfilers (and vfiler0)?
Lots of questions 🙂
