CIFS Redundancy on VNX5500
Hello,
We have Two Data Movers.
I have setup CIFS on Active DataMover1, using two ports (out of 4 ports Ethernet card) in LACP configuration.
I need to know how to configure CIFS for redundancy and failover.
Thanks,
Mihir

as long as your configured the same network configuration for standby datamover, CIFS server and all of the setting will failover to standby datamover.

Can you expand the the term "network configuration", i.e. what is required.
As I went to Settings > Network > Settings for File > Device Wizard > In the wizard I can see only server_2 listed, but not the standby datamover (server_3). How to configure LACP device for it?
Same is the case with Interface wizard, only Active Datamover is listed.
Thanks,
Mihir

that is correct, you need to make sure switch configuration for server_3 is configured the same way it's configured for server_2 (port-channel, VLAN tagging ..etc). When server_2 fails over to server_3, configuration from server_2 will failover to server_3.
