when we tried to setup CIFS in a new svm it fails please find the bellow error. we already have 4 SVM's running cifs on this cluster. recently we upgraded from 9.7P17 to 9.9.1P7
ibmnas2117::> vserver cifs create -cifs-server Deibmsvi10059 -vserver svm_Dehensvj72 -domain hengroup.net -ou OU=Filer,OU=servers,OU=DE,OU=Units -default-site "" -status-admin up
In order to create an Active Directory machine account for the CIFS server, you must supply the name and password of a Windows account with sufficient
privileges to add computers to the "OU=Filer,OU=servers,OU=DE,OU=Units" container within the "hengroup.net" domain.
Enter the user name: XXXX
Enter the password:
Warning: An account by this name already exists in Active Directory at CN=DEIBMSVI10059,OU=Filer,OU=servers,OU=DE,OU=Units,DC=henkelgroup,DC=net.
If there is an existing DNS entry for the name DEIBMSVI10059, it must be removed. Data ONTAP cannot remove such an entry.
Use an external tool to remove it after this command completes.
Ok to reuse this account? {y|n}: y
