Creating your file...
If you want SMB clients to connect to the SMB server by using an alias, you can create a list of NetBIOS aliases, or you can add NetBIOS aliases to an existing list of NetBIOS aliases.
-
The NetBIOS alias name can be 15 up to characters in length.
-
You can configure up to 200 NetBIOS aliases on the SMB server.
-
The following characters are not allowed:
@ # * ( ) = + [ ] | ; : " , < > \ / ?
-
Add the NetBIOS aliases:
vserver cifs add-netbios-aliases -vserver vserver_name -netbios-aliases NetBIOS_alias,…
vserver cifs add-netbios-aliases -vserver vs1 -netbios-aliases alias_1,alias_2,alias_3
-
You can specify one or more NetBIOS aliases by using a comma-delimited list.
-
The specified NetBIOS aliases are added to the existing list.
-
A new list of NetBIOS aliases is created if the list is currently empty.
-
-
Verify that the NetBIOS aliases were added correctly:
vserver cifs show -vserver vserver_name -display-netbios-aliases
vserver cifs show -vserver vs1 -display-netbios-aliases
Vserver: vs1 Server Name: CIFS_SERVER NetBIOS Aliases: ALIAS_1, ALIAS_2, ALIAS_3
