server_checkup returns errors

Question

Hi,

When I run server_checkup server_2 -test CIFS on our Celerra I get error messages for some of the cifs shares:

Warning 17451974858: server_2 : The pathname /powell_data/root/PCCommon/BackUp/as49 of the share 'as49' is invalid.
--> Check the filesystem of the share is correctly mounted and the pathname still exists.If it's permanently unmounted or one directory component is missing,please remove the share using the server_export command.Refer to the commands reference manual for more details.

But I can access this share without any problems so I'm wondering what this error means?

Thanks,
Sheppie

Typically this happens if the file sytem got unmounted or the directory remove but someone forgot to delete the CIFS

It is just a warning but if you are concerned open a service request and customer service will take a look.

This problem was caused by a bug in the server_checkup command. The filesystem path and the cifs export were the same but had different cases eg. pathname was /powell_data/root/PCCommon/BackUp/as49 but export was /powell_data/root/pccommon/backup/as49.

Apparently this will shortly be fixed in an new code release.

thanks for the feedbackmakes sense since file system path's are case sensitive in Celerra and Unix but are not in the Windows CIFS world
