  • Ontap 9
  • CIFS

Answer

  • There are no such ONTAP commands available to retrieve inactive or unused shares.
  • On the client end, we can determine which files and folders haven't been viewed recently by looking up their last changed date.
  • However, active shares can be identified using the vserver cifs session show command.
