How can i restart the SMB services on a specific node of the cluster
we are experiencing some issues with a number of nodes in our cluster where we are unable to connect to the administrative share (i.e. ifs$). I tested connecting to this share using the individual IP addresses of each node and find that i am unable to connect to 5 of them, and there are no SMB connections reported via the OneFS GUI. So, i choose one of the nodes giving issues, and i was wondering just how i could restart the SMB services on it to see if that would resolve the issue, I would rather not reboot the node as there are a few NFS connections present. We are currently running OneFS v7.0.1.3
I have attached a screen shot of what i am seeing.

Hi,
On the node you are suspecting login with ssh and type:
node-1# ps -aux|grep lw
You should see 6 processes like this:
root 2758 18.0 0.1 174888 28844 ?? S 12Feb13 1006:49.92 lw-container lsass (lsass)
root 2325 0.0 0.0 93296 7408 ?? I 12Feb13 0:00.19 /usr/likewise/sbin/lwsmd --syslog --start-as-daemon
root 2682 0.0 0.1 110392 12720 ?? I 12Feb13 0:21.21 lw-container lwreg (lwreg)
root 2700 0.0 0.2 142036 52256 ?? I 12Feb13 0:26.68 lw-container netlogon (netlogon)
root 2747 0.0 0.1 120332 13684 ?? I 12Feb13 0:04.34 lw-container lwio (lwio)
root 3039 0.0 0.0 103868 11916 ?? I 12Feb13 0:05.59 lw-container srvsvc (srvsvc)
root 55912 0.0 0.0 7960 1288 p0 S+ 10:58AM 0:00.00 grep lw
If not or you don't see all of them, use killall to kill the local process on that node.
node-1# killall srvsvc
It takes some time, but a background process should restart the process.
On a second ssh session run:
isi statistics system --nodes --top
This will show you that after a while smb sessions get access to this node again.
We had the a similar problem (bug record #99264). We are planning a upgrade to 7.0.2.1.
Regards,
Robert

hunterzzz,
Firstly, please consider moving this question to the proper forum for maximum visibility. Questions written to the users' own "Discussions" space don't get the same amount of attention and questions can go unanswered for a long time. You can do so by selecting "Move" under ACTIONS along the right. Then search for and select: "Isilon Support Forum" which would be the most relevant for this question
I wonder if maybe you are experiencing the issue as documented in the following KB article. You are running an affected version of OneFS; well... at least when you had posted this question.
emc321867: "Locking issue can cause SMB connections to become non-responsive"
As noted, if you can't upgrade to the latest OneFS (v7.0.1.6 as of this reply) or at a minimum install the patch, a possible work-around is to restart the lwiod daemon on the affected node.
