Chapter 3: Configure CIFS with Virtual CIFS Servers 35

Virtual File Shares

Modify the Configuration

To change the configuration of a Virtual File Share, select that Virtual File

Share on the Servers, Virtual Hosts, or Applications tab, right-click, and

select Properties. You can then modify the configuration as necessary.

You can also enter the following at the Command Prompt:

mx vfs_share update [arguments] [--path <path>]

\\vfs>\<vshare>

See the PolyServe Matrix Server Command Reference for more information.

Disable or Enable a Virtual File Share Monitor

When a monitor is disabled, the health of the server is affected in the

same manner as a failure of the monitor’s probe operation. If the Policy

configuration of the monitor is either

AUTORECOVER or

NOAUTORECOVER, the ClusterPulse process will attempt to fail over the

Virtual CIFS Server to a backup node. If a backup node is not available or

if the Policy configuration of the monitor is

NOFAILOVER, the service will

remain up on the original node.

To disable a Virtual File Share monitor on a particular server, select it on

the Servers tab, right-click, and select Disable. (On the Applications tab,

right-click in the cell corresponding to the Virtual File Share and server.)

To reenable the monitor, select it on the PolyServe Management Console,

right-click, and select Enable.

You can also enter the following at the Command Prompt:

mx vfs_share enable \\vfs>\<vshare> <netif> ...

mx vfs_share disable \\vfs>\<vshare> <netif> ..

View Monitor Errors

To view the last error for a Virtual File Share monitor, select the Virtual

File Share monitor on the Servers tab, right-click, and select View Last

Error. (On the Applications tab, right-click in the cell corresponding to the

Virtual File Share and server.)
