Achou - Yes, it would be: system node image update system node reboot However ... I note that your jumping from 8.3 -> 9.1 Best practice is usualy to go from major version to major version. It may still work, but you probably would want to check with upgrade advisor first. See mysupport.netapp.com -> My AutoSupport -> upgrade advisor. You may also wish to review the 'Upgrade and Revert/Downgrade Guide': http://docs.netapp.com/ontap-9/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.netapp.doc.dot-cm-ug-rdg%2Fhome.html Or the 'Upgrade Express Guide'.

Rocks - Each vserver can only authenticate within one domain. From the man pages: The vserver cifs create command creates a CIFS server on a Vserver. When you create the CIFS server, you must add it to an existing CIFS domain. When you enter this command, the storage system prompts you to provide the credentials of a user account that has sufficient privileges to add computers to the -ou container within the -domain domain. The user account must have a password that cannot be empty. If the new CIFS server is joining a domain, this command might take several minutes to complete. Note:Each Vserver can have only one CIFS server. I hope this response has been helpful to you. At your service, Eugene E.

Carsten - There's no mention of reboot needed on the man page: disk.target_port.cmd_queue_depth Sets the maximum number of concurrent commands that can be dispatched to any target port on an external RAID array. This is useful on V-Series systems, which support large numbers of LUNs behind a single device ID. If too many commands are issued the overall performance of the external RAID array may be degraded. A value of 0 indicates that no limit is enforced on any target port. I hope this response has been helpful to you. At your service, Eugene E.

NA - Your question isn't that clear to me, but I'll try to answer... The SVM will discover all of the servers automagicly when you join in to the domain. You can check the discovered servers with: vserver active-directory discovered-servers show If you want the verver to have multiple aliases in the domain use: The 'vserver cifs add-netbios-aliases' command creates or adds a list of NetBIOS aliases for the CIFS server name.
