Hi,
does anybody knows the limit of CIFS share connections to a FAS 8040 in 7-mode (8.2.5). Can't find valid informations...thanks,mic
Solved! See The Solution
Hi Mic,
How many do you need it to be?
It doesn't seem like we include that information in any of our guides anymore - the most recent ones I found were for the FAS6000 series - https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMM1277790/html/filesag/GUID-0B6CE81B-A6FD-4705-A456-261B191B9802.html
I am confident that it would be at least that number

The ONTAP maximum file limits is lesser than the maximum possible number of files supported by ONTAP for a volume. This video explains the reason why ONTAP has this lower limit on the file count.
Here’s a quick tutorial on how to check system information on the NetApp Support Site.
Learn to correct an error message when ONTAP reports that a volume is out of inodes because it has reached the maximum files.
