Modify CIFS options

Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description

The vserver cifs options modify command modifies CIFS options for a CIFS server.

Parameters

-vserver <vserver name> - Vserver

This parameter specifies the name of the CIFS server for which you want to modify CIFS options.

[-default-unix-user <text>] - Default UNIX User

This optional parameter specifies the name of the default UNIX user for the CIFS server.

[-read-grants-exec {enabled|disabled}] - Read Grants Exec for Mode Bits

This optional parameter specifies whether the CIFS server does read grant execution for mode bits.

[-wins-servers <InetAddress>,…​] - Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) Addresses

This optional parameter specifies a list of Windows Internet Name Server (WINS) addresses for the CIFS server. You must specify the WINS servers using an IP address. You can enter multiple WINS addresses as a comma-delimited list.

Note Use an IPv4 address because WINS over IPv6 is not supported.
[-smb1-enabled {true|false}] - (DEPRECATED)-Enable SMB1 Protocol (privilege: advanced)

This optional parameter specifies whether the CIFS server negotiates the SMB 1.0 version of the CIFS protocol. The default value for this parameter is false.

Note This parameter is deprecated because the SMB1 protocol is obsolete and considered insecure. It might be removed in a future release.
[-smb2-enabled {true|false}] - Enable all SMB2 Protocols (privilege: advanced)

This optional parameter specifies whether the CIFS server negotiates the SMB 2 version of the CIFS protocol. The default value for this parameter is true.

[-smb3-enabled {true|false}] - Enable SMB3 Protocol (privilege: advanced)

This optional parameter specifies whether the CIFS server negotiates the SMB 3 version of the CIFS protocol. The default value for this parameter is true.

[-smb31-enabled {true|false}] - Enable SMB3.1 Protocol (privilege: advanced)

This optional parameter specifies whether the CIFS server negotiates the SMB 3.1 version of the CIFS protocol. The default value for this parameter is true.

[-max-mpx <integer>] - Maximum Simultaneous Operations per TCP Connection (privilege: advanced)

This optional parameter specifies the maximum number of simultaneous operations the CIFS server reports it can process per TCP connection.

[-shadowcopy-dir-depth <integer>] - Maximum Depth of Directories to Shadow Copy (privilege: advanced)

This optional parameter specifies the maximum depth of directories on which to create shadow copies in the CIFS server. The default for this parameter is 5. The value 0 indicates that all sub-directories should be shadow copied. This parameter is not supported for workgroup CIFS servers. Directories and files within a FlexGroup will not be shadow copied because FlexGroups do not support shadow copy.

[-copy-offload-enabled {true|false}] - Enable Copy Offload Feature (privilege: advanced)

This optional parameter enables the Copy Offload feature in the CIFS server. If set to false, the Copy Offload feature is disabled. The default for this parameter is true. Copy Offload has no effect on files in a FlexGroup because FlexGroups do not support Copy Offload.

[-is-copy-offload-direct-copy-enabled {true|false}] - Is Direct-copy Copy Offload Mechanism Enabled (privilege: advanced)

This optional parameter enables the direct-copy mechanism for ODX copy offload in the CIFS server. If set to false, the direct-copy mechanism is disabled. The default for this parameter is true. Copy Offload has no effect on files in a FlexGroup because FlexGroups do not support Copy Offload. + The direct-copy mechanism increases the performance of the copy offload operation when Windows clients try to open the source file of a copy in a mode that prevents the file being changed while the copy is in progress. If turned off, regular copy offloading takes place.

[-default-unix-group <text>] - Default UNIX Group

This optional parameter specifies the name of the default UNIX group for the CIFS server. If you do not specify a default UNIX group, the CIFS ACL to NFSv4 ACL translation may result in incomplete NFSv4 ACL information. This parameter is not supported by Vservers with FlexVol volumes.

[-shadowcopy-enabled {true|false}] - Enable Shadow Copy Feature (VSS) (privilege: advanced)

This optional parameter enables the Shadow Copy (VSS) feature in the CIFS server when set to true. The VSS feature is disabled when set to false. The default for this parameter is true. This parameter is not supported for workgroup CIFS servers. Directories and files within a FlexGroup will not be shadow copied because FlexGroups do not support shadow copy.

[-is-referral-enabled {true|false}] - Refer Clients to More Optimal LIFs (privilege: advanced)

This optional parameter specifies whether the CIFS server automatically refers clients to a data LIF local to the node which hosts the root of the requested share. The default value for this parameter is false.

[-is-trusted-domain-enum-search-enabled {true|false}] - Is Enumeration of Trusted Domain and Search Capability Enabled (privilege: advanced)

This optional parameter specifies whether the CIFS server supports enumeration of bidirectional trusted domains. It also supports the search in all the bidirectional trusted domains when performing Windows user lookups for UNIX user to Windows user name mapping. The default value is true. This parameter is not supported for workgroup CIFS servers.

[-client-session-timeout <integer>] - Idle Timeout Before CIFS Session Disconnect (secs)

This optional parameter specifies the amount of idle time (in seconds) before a CIFS session is disconnected. The default value for this parameter is 900 seconds.

[-is-dac-enabled {true|false}] - Is Dynamic Access Control (DAC) Enabled (privilege: advanced)

  • no-enumeration - This option specifies that only enumeration is restricted.

  • no-access - This option specifies that access is restricted for anonymous users.

[-is-read-only-delete-enabled {enabled|disabled}] - Is Deletion of Read-Only Files Enabled

This optional parameter controls deletion of read-only files and directories. NTFS delete semantics forbid deletion of a file or directory when the read-only attribute is set. UNIX delete semantics ignore it, focusing instead on parent directory permissions, which some applications require. This option is used to select the desired behavior. By default this option is disabled, yielding NTFS behavior.

[-file-system-sector-size {512|4096 (in bytes)}] - Size of File System Sector Reported to SMB Clients (bytes) (privilege: advanced)
