SHAREDUP confusion

Question

Hello guys, i am trying to use sharedup to create shares on a CIFS servers.  This CIFS server is inside of a virtual datamover, there are multiple file systems mounted to this virtual datamover Filesystem          kbytes         used        avail capacity Mounted onfs78              51628784     21842976     29785808   42%    /fs78fs29               3024984       797720      2227264   26%    /fs29fs28               3024984      2431240       593744   80%    /fs28 I've read 'Using EMC Utilities for the CIFS Environment' multiple times, i am using the latest version of sharedup (2.02) and still struggling to make it work.  Let's say i have a directory on my windows server C:\Temp
t , this folder is shared as 'nt'.  On the root of file system fs28 on Celerra i created a directory nt and that's what i am trying to share. First i tried this command: sharedup.exe \source  \target  c: that did not work and i got error message: Creating share '\source\Temp
t' to export directory 'C:\Temp
t'...Unable to add the share on target server NetShareAdd: Error=0x00000002: The system cannot find the file specified. -> Share '\target
t' not duplicated After that i tried this command but with the same results: sharedup.exe \source  \target  c: /P \fs28 I also tried to dump share info with /FO and then run it again with /FI: ..same results. What am i doing wrong ? How does sharedup know where to look on the target file system for the folder i am trying to share? What if i have multiple file system. Thanks

ok, i needed a soft drink :-) once i dumped share info to a text file, it looked like this: @Drive:C:nt;nt;C:\Temp
t; once i modified it to look like this it worked. @Drive:C :nt;nt;C:\fs28
t; sharedup.exe \source \target  c: /FI:sharedump.txt /SD

1 year later I ran into a similar issue and was busting my troubleshooting chops trying to figure out. Dynamox your little note saved the day...Kudos

Dynamox, not to cross thread but I'm searching up on something else I'm performing on another project a voila your name is on a few posts I've seen.

MAC OS 10.6 connecting to VNX.

Is there any documentation at all specifically around MAC OS and NFS? They are using SAMBA for the MAC side but is slow as snail, with the new VNX I'm looking to see how to handle connectivity/authentication or as another post I saw. They are not keen to upgrade to 10.7

i have not heard complains from my users, they are all CIFS users.  Have you isolated it to being OSX users only ?

I was trying the same on isilon cluster and had issues. I got it working as follows:

I have a local Windows server LP01 with shares Marketing, Finance and HR on folders c:\TopInvestment\Marketing, c:\TopInvestment\Finance and c:\TopInvestment\HR respectively.

I have migrated data to isilon cluster on folder /ifs/TopInvestment/Marketing, /ifs/TopInvestment/Finance and /ifs/TopInvestment/HR.

I needed to create the 3 shares on isilon cluster. I tried various options suggested in this discussion, however no success and finally the command below worked. I did not wish to migrate local users and groups so I used /IP4700 option. Administrator (domain admin) must have full NTFS permissions to the Source and Destination folders.

c:\software\sharedup \\LP01 \\isilon.lab.local c: /P:ifs /SD /IP4700 /LOG:IsilonShareDuplication.txt

Hope this helps.
