Figure 1: Advanced Setting Page

To enable or disable advanced SMB settings:

  1. Select the check box to enable, or clear the check box to disable, the following settings:

    Enable Opportunistic Locking - (Enabled by default) Opportunistic locking lets clients lock files and locally cache information without the risk of another user changing the file. This increases performance for many file operations, but it may decrease performance in other operations because the server that grants the opportunistic lock must manage the breaking of that lock when another user requests access to the file.

    Note: System performance may decrease if Opportunistic Locking is disabled.

    Enable SMB Server signing - (Disabled by default) SMB server signing improves security on Windows networks by requiring clients to provide a security signature to connect to a server. If the DXi is joined to a Windows domain that is configured to require signing, you should enable SMB server signing.

  2. Click Apply.
