Is this what shows up when you go to My Computer and look at the drive associated with the Celerra? If so, I think you will need change the comments. Look at p79 of the document "Configuring and Managing CIFS on Celerra". It talks about this.
It does look like this is the command I'm looking for, but it doesn't seem to want to work. I don't believe my syntax is wrong, but I'm not sure what else could be. This is what I'm receiving:
that CIFS server already exists ? I don't think you can change comment on an existing server, unless there is some kind of nebios rename process where you can change the comment at the same time.
I believe you are correct. I had to deal with this issue when Autocad would not see a Celerra share due to the long comment showing up before it. Called support and they told me what to do. This was 2 years ago, so I don't remember all the details.
when i map to shares that are created like that i do not see the "EMC-SNAS:T5.6.45.5" comment. I also had to delete this comment "EMC-SNAS:T5.6.45.5" from my local registry as it was cached.
not sure where you are in deployment stage but you could setup shares where they are not sharing root of the file system you created but say a subfolder ..for example:

of course if jasper lives on a VDM you also have to use the vdm name in the server_cifs instead of server_2 ....
you need to use the exact same options that were used when the CIFS server was initially created

[nasadmin@ns42_cs0 ~]$ server_cifs server_2 -add compname=compname,domain=domain.local.cty -comment "Department_Shares"
server_2 :
Error 4020: server_2 : failed to complete command

It does appear that there's an issue with the VDM already existing, this is a snippet of server_log server_2
2009-12-18 15:01:16: SMB: 3: Compname jasper already exists on VDM Jasper
2009-12-18 14:46:26: SMB: 3: Netbios JASPER already exists on VDM Jasper

According to the documentation I can:
"You can add comments when you initially create the CIFS server or after the CIFS server is
created."
