Unified VNX: Unable to unexport a CIFS Share
I wasn't sure if I should post this in the VNX or Celerra section, but it is technically a Unified VNX and not a stand-alone Celerra.
The issue I am having is that I am unable to unexport a CIFS share. Here is the output I get:
[nasadmin@EWRNJDC01SAN1-001-CSA nas]$ server_export NaaS_CoreBusiness_VDM1 -unexport -perm -name REPO01
NaaS_CoreBusiness_VDM1 :
Error 2: NaaS_CoreBusiness_VDM1 : No such file or directory
Unshare error: Shares not unmounted
I get the same error using the Unisphere GUI, it's just easier to show the issue using the control station CLI.
I think this problem may have been caused by deleting the CIFS server before deleting the share, but I did re-create the CIFS server exactly as it was. This didn't change the behavior of the above command.
Since I can't delete the share, I can't delete the VDM. Since I can't delete the VDM, I can't delete the file system. Since I can't delete the file system, I can't recover the storage capacity. I really need to get this done. Does anyone have any idea? What further information can I provide?
I have several unified VNX-5300 units, some even have EMC support, but this one does not so I can't really open an SR for this. Any community support would be welcome.
Here is some additional output from commands I've run that might answer some questions:
Listing current exports:
[nasadmin@EWRNJDC01SAN1-001-CSA nas]$ server_export NaaS_CoreBusiness_VDM1
NaaS_CoreBusiness_VDM1 :
share "REPO01" "/NaaS_CoreBusiness_VDM1_01/REPO01" umask=022 maxusr=4294967295 type=DFSRoot netbios=NAAS-CORE-FS01
Tried to re-export just to see what would happen:
[nasadmin@EWRNJDC01SAN1-001-CSA nas]$ server_export NaaS_CoreBusiness_VDM1 -name "REPO01" "/NaaS_CoreBusiness_VDM1_01/REPO01"
NaaS_CoreBusiness_VDM1 :
Error 22: NaaS_CoreBusiness_VDM1 : Invalid argument
Share error: Sharename already used to declare netbios share
Just making sure the mountpoint for the share is really there:
[nasadmin@EWRNJDC01SAN1-001-CSA nas]$ server_mountpoint NaaS_CoreBusiness_VDM1 -list
NaaS_CoreBusiness_VDM1 :
/.etc
/NaaS_CoreBusiness_VDM1_01
/NaaS_CoreBusiness_VDM1_01/REPO01
The one thing I can't do is mount the share on a real downstream server because of the way the networking is configured. I have to (if at all possible) fix this from the VNX or Control Station. Why can't I just force the Celerra to delete this share?
Thanks in advance!
