When a CES node fails, protocol clients have to reconnect to one of the remaining nodes. Samba in CES does not support persistent handles. This is indicated in the documentation: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/STXKQY_4.2.1/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v4r21.doc/bl1adm_smbexportlimits.htm#bl1adm_smbexportlimits "Only mandatory SMB3 protocol features are supported.

I.e., does used samba server provide cluster wide persistent handles? Or failover from node to node is currently not supported without the client disruption? -- Lukáš Hejtmánek _______________________________________________ gpfsug-discuss mailing list gpfsug-discuss at spectrumscale.org http://gpfsug.org/mailman/listinfo/gpfsug-discuss
