Unlock locked file on Isilon Share via MMC
Hi.
We currently have a 3 node Isilon cluster hosting various shares for user data.
Currently we are able to unlock a locked file using windows MMC however we have to connect to each node individually to see all locked files.
Is there a way to do this via MMC that you can connect and see all the locked files across the whole cluster?
Thanks,
Nathan

i don't think you can, each node runs its own instance of likewise SMB service.

Dynamox is correct, however you can do something similar from the CLI:
isi_for_array -s "isi smb openfiles list -a -z"
This would show all files open via SMB on all nodes in sequential order.

I also don't think that MMC is able to close open files on isilon. However, you can use below commands to close an open file:
1. SSH to Isilon.
2. Run isi_for_array isi smb openfiles list | grep -i command to list the lock. Use --verbose option to find out user name also who has locked the file. Below is an example:
nas01-1# isi_for_array isi smb openfiles list | grep -i tokens
nas01-2: 532722142 C:\ifs\nas01\Accts & Tokens.xlsx
Note down the Node number "nas01-2" through which it has opened the file and lock id "532722142"
SSH to the node "nas01-2" which has opened the file and run below command to close the lock:
nas01-2# isi smb openfiles close - -id=532722142
Are you sure you want to close open file with id 532722142? (yes/[no]): yes
nas01-2#
nas01-2# isi_for_array isi smb openfiles list | grep -i tokens
nas01-2#
