CIFS Maximum Connections Reached

Description

Maximum number of CIFS connections per NAS controller is reached.

Cause

Each NX3600 appliance is limited to 200 concurrent CIFS connections and each NX3610 and FS8600 is limited to 1500 connections.

  • The system is in an optimal state and the number of CIFS clients accessing one of the controllers reaches the maximum. In such a scenario, consider adding another NAS appliance.
  • The system is in optimal state but the clients are significantly unbalanced between NAS controllers. In this case, rebalance the clients using the NAS Manager.
  • The system is in degraded state (one or more NAS controllers are down) and the CIFS clients are left over on the remaining controller. In this case, wait until the system returns to optimal or decrease the number of CIFS clients in the system.

Workaround

If all NAS controllers are in optimal mode, the connections are divided between both of them.
