  • ONTAP 9
  • CIFS

Answer

  • ONTAP does not  have a feature to disable CIFS Shares
  • Temporarily hide CIFS Shares:
  1. The property "browsable" can be removed from share properties.
    Note: This will only make sure that the share is not visible unless it is being accessed by its own path.
  2. The Volume to which the share is created can be made offline and then online again.
    Note: Making volume offline and online is disruptive. Once the volume is online again, clients should be able to recover.

Note: Take note of Share ACLs for recreation. Data inside the volume is not affected when the share pointer is deleted/recreated.
