Additional Information A high volume of traffic can lead bus overruns causing some packets to be discarded. This does not always have a noticeable impact on the environment. More information can be found in our KB article on Troubleshooting Ethernet Network Ports in ONTAP using ifstat. Why does packet loss impact performance?

Data ONTAP 8 uses NTP for time synchronization. It requires a more accurate time source than that provided by Windows DC by default (10 seconds). Therefore, using Windows DCs, Data ONTAP 8 loses time synchronization. If the time difference between the storage system and the DC is greater than 5 minutes, a CIFS authentication failure will occur.
