[gpfsug-discuss] Samba via CES

[Christof Schmitt]

When a CES node fails, protocol clients have to reconnect to one of the 
remaining nodes.

Samba in CES does not support persistent handles. This is indicated in the 
documentation:

http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/STXKQY_4.2.1/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v4r21.doc/bl1adm_smbexportlimits.htm#bl1adm_smbexportlimits

"Only mandatory SMB3 protocol features are supported. "

Hello,

does CES offer high availability of SMB? I.e., does used samba server 
provide
cluster wide persistent handles? Or failover from node to node is 
currently
not supported without the client disruption?
