Is there a Isilon Connection Limit

Question

Was wondering is there a Max SMB Limit for the number of connections by the same user account with the Isilon System? (from Windows or Mac systems) i.e. Can a lab of PC's be logged in for read-only access to a share as the same account x times?

Thanks

Is it the SMB2 credits per client part?

SMB2 credits per client = 1,024

"Per client" means "per node, per client." The server will provide this many SMB 2 credits for any client connecting to a node.

Only ask as a Windows machine gave a too many connections as this user account error the other week. Didn't get the exact text unfortunately but it hasn't happened again either...

Thanks

i thought you were interested in concurrent connections ?  16.5k per node on 7.2

could not find anything official on technet but i can tell that in my environment i have one windows 2008 server that creates 128 concurrent sessions to one node, it's a DNA sequencer.
