enabling SMB2 dont work

[jenoptik]

Hello anyone,

Today I enabled SMB2 (options cifs.smb.enable on) on our FAS3070 but it don't work.

Wireshark tells me that only SMB1 is used.

On the partner node I enabled SMB2, too. Here it works.

There, Wireshark tells me SMB2 is used.

The options of filer1 are:

So why SMB2 is only available at filer2 and not on filer1?

What have to be done to enable SMB2 correctly?

System Specs:

FAS3070

Data Ontap 7.3.7P1

Tanks for any help,

jenoptik

[jenoptik]

additional info:

on filer1:

Filer1> cifs domaininfo

Type:                     NT4

on filer2:

Filer2> cifs domaininfo

Type:                     Windows 2003

Is perhaps the fact that both domains have different domain types the problem?

All you have to from the filer side is enable it. That's it.

The client will negotiate SMB2 if it's supported on the client and if SMB1 connections aren't already established to the filer.

Win2k3 and XP, for example, do not support SMB2. Win2K8 and later does.

If you have a supported client, it's possible the client has already negotiated SMB1 to the filer. If that's the case, reboot the client and try again.

Hi Sir,

One doubt I have,

According the article, user enabled SMB2 on single controller and some how forgot to enable it on partner node.

Why it blocked node01 to server SMB2 request?

As per my understanding, client request will come to node01 and it may not verify settings on partner node.  Will it verify in any scenario?

I think, as per HA recommendataions, we need to have same settings on both the controller. But some how it was missed.

Why I am discussing on this is,  I have seen similar situation after enabling smb2 on both the controllers and just because, cifs netbios over tcp option is not have equal values in both the controllers.

Later it was fixed after making it equal.

So, Kindly need your help to understand the behavior, how the DIFFERENCE IN THE OPTIONS causing the issue.
