After migration, CIFS is inaccessible using DNS name (IP address works)
Applies to
ONTAP 9
Issue
- A migration from a different storage system (such as a Data ONTAP 7-Mode controller) is complete and the DNS A record is modified so that the original name maps to a IP address of a CIFS SVM data LIF
- On attempting to access the CIFS server using
\\CIFSSVM
there is a hang and timeout followed by a generic network path not found error - Ping or nslookup of the DNS name is successful and using the IP address works
- Logging on and off, clearing DNS cache, or rebooting the client does not help
