Hi,

I need to enable both NFS and CIFS access to the same volume

Should I add this volume to CIFS and NFS list separately or there is some other way to work in such mode ?

Thanks

he's telling me I can't have a single file share with permissions for both CIFS and NFS set to it at the same time.

Is this true?

Yes, that's true. A file on NetApp always has single set of permissions - either CIFS or NFS. The way to share files on NetApp between CIFS and NFS is to map between NFS and CIFS users. Or to map all NFS users to a single CIFS user and give this user (read) permissions.

Please read TR-3490 which decribes in details multiprotocol access issues.

What do I need to request my admin to do, that will allow the CIFS permission to stay as they are but addtionally let the BOBJ application which is hosted on a Unix/AIX server to dump some report files to that same share?

I assume BOBJ applications run as dedicated user. So you can map this user to specific CIFS (Windows) user and give this Windows user specific permissions to this share. If this is one off task, you could add BOBJ UNIX user to /etc/passwd on filer.
