DfsDnsConfig Registry Key for CIFS Server
Hi,
I have currently some issue after a replication switchover of a FS that was configured as Standalone DFS Root.
I have lost all the link that were previously set under the DFS Management Console.
I have check under the dfsroot of FS and see that all my link were good and the same as the source :
[root@frdplipcs2 dfs01]# pwd
/nas/quota/slot_3/root_vdm_22/fs_dfs01/.etc/dfs/netbios/FRDPLIPDFS01/dfs01
[root@frdplipcs2 dfs01]# ls -al | more
total 4736
d--------- 2 root bin 47104 Mar 20 11:16 .
d--------- 3 root bin 80 Jan 4 2010 ..

Is there a way to get more information on those link ?
I have seen that there is some registry regarding DFS on CIFS server.
I have found some information on someone but not on this one :
Do you have any information regarding this registry key ?
Furthermore is there a documentation which have a description of all the registry key available on VDM CIFS Server ?

You can create a DFS root on a VNX just like any other Windows server. You will use the MS MMC in order to do that
The main difference is that the DFS Root on the VNX can only be Standalone (not AD integrated) and you cannot use DFS-R
If you already have an AD integrated DFS then you can just create links in your DFS that will point to shares on the VNX
This link might help you in detail to see how DFS works on the file systems :

To configure the DFS again please follow the mentioned steps in the article :

You can only take the help from online microsoft selfhelp as this is a server issue.
Thanks
