To force users out from EMC NAS

Question

Hi What command shld I use if I want to forcibly disconnect users from NAS? Is it a good idea to allow nasadmin access to application owner who wants to upgrade the application on the NAS? Thanks

Do you use your NAS in a CIFS(Windows) or NFS(Unix) environment?

For Windows you can use any Windows client: Computer Management -> connect to remote computer -> enter ip/name of datamover -> sessions -> select all -> disconnect
This disconnects all open sessions but to prevent the windows clients from reconnecting you have to delete the cifs shares or remove the access permissions of the shares.

As for your second question I don't really understand what your're trying to achive. Can you please specify more details?

regards,
bernd

if you want to kick everybody out on a datamover (including VDMs) you could stop CIFS service:$ server_setup server_2 -Protocol cifs -option stop,comment='CIFS is goingdown'server_2 : done

Application owner wanted to upgrade the application. They require the NAS admin rights. We use both CIFS and NFS.
