Creating NetBIOS aliases in the /etc/cifs_nbalias.cfg file

You can create NetBIOS aliases in the /etc/cifs_nbalias.cfg file.

About this task

Data ONTAP creates a default cifs_nbalias.cfg file in the /etc directory when CIFS starts, if the file does not already exist. Changes to this file are processed automatically whenever CIFS starts. You can also process changes to this file using the command cifs nbalias load.

Steps

  1. Open the /etc/cifs_nbalias.cfg file for editing.
  2. Enter NetBIOS aliases in the /etc/cifs_nbalias.cfg file, one entry per line.
    Note: You can enter up to 200 NetBIOS aliases in the file, using either ASCII or Unicode characters.
  3. Enter the following command to process the entries: cifs nbalias load
