NAS SMB Interfaces

If needed, you can reset the SMB interfaces after they are set with the nas set smb interfaces command.

  1. Log in to the controller console.

  2. Enter:

    nas reset smb interfaces

  3. You are prompted to confirm that you want to reset the SMB interfaces:

    Are you sure you want to reset SMB interfaces? (yes/No)?

  4. Press y to proceed with the reset, or press n to cancel the operation (no changes are applied). If you proceed with the operation, the following is an example of the output:

Note: You can also enter the following command to bypass the confirmation prompt:

nas reset smb interfaces force
  • This situation could be the result of an Appliance Controller upgrade issue, specifically if you used the system upgrade or system upgrade local command to upgrade a node that is joined to a NAS cluster. In this case, reboot the node to repair the configuration. This removes the errant daemons and updates the config files for the new configuration.

    If rebooting the cluster node does not resolve the issue, or if the issue isn't related to an upgrade, then review the following information.

  • The Samba server may not be connected to the correct interface or IP address — it needs to be bound to the same interface or IP address as your Appliance Controller's network is.

    To resolve this issue, you will need to verify that the Samba server is connected appropriately. If the Samba server is not bound to the correct interface or IP address, you will need to reset its connection.

  1. Log in to the Appliance Controller CLI.
  2. Verify that Samba is connected to the IP address configured for your Appliance Controller's network. Enter:

    3. nas show smb interfaces detail

    Example:

    > nas show smb interfaces detail

    SMB bind interfaces: lo 10.65.190.178

  1. Log in to the Appliance Controller CLI.
  2. Configure the SMB interface.
    • Bind the server to listen only to certain IP(s) in a multichannel SMB configuration. Enter:
      • nas set smb interfaces <interface> [, <interface>, ...]

      Example (listen to two IP addresses):

      nas set smb interfaces lo 192.168.10.10 192.168.11.10

    The parameter is:

    <interface>

    The interface, such as eth0, to which to reset the Samba server's connection.

    You can enter wildcards (*) with the interface name, such as eth*. In addition, you can enter multiple interfaces in a single command.

    Caution: Using the net set smb inferfaces command can be incompatible with the use of a VIP pool. If you are using a VIP pool, clear the setting by entering an empty value for the <interface> parameter.
