If you do not need specific NetBIOS aliases for a CIFS server, you can remove those NetBIOS aliases from the list. You can also remove all NetBIOS aliases from the list.

    vserver cifs remove-netbios-aliases -vserver vserver_name -netbios-aliases -

    vserver cifs remove-netbios-aliases -vserver vs1 -netbios-aliases alias_1

  2. Verify that the specified NetBIOS aliases were removed: vserver cifs show -vserver vserver_name -display-netbios-aliases
