Unable to access SMB Share using Zone Name / SSIP

Do you have the zone name set up as a Zone Delegation in Microsoft DNS, or as a NS record in bind to forward to the SSIP?

If you have an A record pointing the zone name to the SSIP, that will not work. You need to forward NS requests to the SSIP via Zone Delegation/NS record.

SSIP typically don't allow connections to HTTP/NFS/SMB unless you are on an old version of OneFS.

Same goes to the S3 storage object. Since customers using applications, notably a work group environment where customer do not want to extend their DNS service cannot use SSIP. As of now, there is no recommended solution to use the SSIP.

Either customer should have following as workaround.

1. have sub-DNS domain with or without AD for user authentication.
2. Have ‎Isilon SmartConnect without DNS Server | DELL Technologies
3. From the application, create a small program, like IF-Else or Do-While loop to test and attempt the node access. However, this will not provide load balancing. But helps when there is a single node failure where the IP pool is Static or Dynamic.
