Output of "isi smb sessions/openfiles list" Access Zone aware?

I used isi_for_array....

So I suppose, I would see all sessions and openfiles.

I also have this problem on 8.0.0.2 and now 8.0.0.4.

No files are displayed via the CLI. Using the MMC plugin only shows the file opened on the node to show open files.

One reason I could think of this happening is that it is only showing the default zone, System. So in isi smb sessions list, I can see a couple sessions that are opened in the System zone, but none in the other zones. However, you can't specify zone in isi smb openfiles or sessions commands.

Workaround provided by support until they can fix the non-zone-aware nature of isi smb.

isi_run -z 2 isi_classic smb file list | less

(2 is the relevant zone in our case, pipe to less to give you chance to read the output)

Or for searching across the cluster:

isi_for_array 'isi_run -z 2 isi_classic smb file list | grep partoffilename'

As I don't see a --zone flag on the command, I would not expect it to be zone aware.  It is tied to the local node and, as was states earlier, isi_for_array is a way around that on the CLI.

Has anyone gotten a fix for this yet? The isi_for_array 'isi_classic -z smb file list| grep ' command doesn't list the ID so there is no way to close the file if you find it.

Running it without grep gives you file IDs but that will list everything which is also not helpful.

I found another solution to this issue.

I was able to access each node from Computer Management on a Windows system using the IP we assigned it for the SMB access zone. From there I was able to look at open files on that node and close them if needed.

you can use the "B" option on grep to show the line(s) before the match.

isi_for_array 'isi_classic -z smb file list | grep -B1' shows you the path of the file an the ID.

if you want to see who is using the file you can also add the -A1 (after) option to the the lines after the match.

The number behind the option defines the number of lines to show.

If you upgrade to 8.0.0.5, the isi smb openfilles and isi smb sessions command will show all zones like they did prior to 8.x.  This was a bug.  At some point a --zone flag may be added, but this is the short-term fix to get the command working again.

We are running version 8.0.0.4 and have multiple zones as well.

The command above seems to be deprecated.

<isi_for_array 'isi_classic -z smb file list | grep -B1'>

Is there an updated command for 8.0.0.4?   I don't see a "-z" option and it errors.

you missed the isi_run in the command.  Here's the correct command:

isi_for_array 'isi_run -z   isi_classic smb file list | grep -I " -B1'

AHHH!!!    Thank you so much!  That worked.

Have a great day!!!

You're welcome. 

Good news, the issue should be fixed in OneFS 8.0.1.2:

190274 If a client ran the "isi smb sessions list" command, OneFS would not include nonsystem zone sessions in the output. If this issue occurred, clients were unable to properly manage all SMB sessions on their cluster.
