Why does connection timeout error on C-mode takes longer than 7 mode
Applies to
- Ontap 9
- Data Ontap 7 mode.
- CIFS/SMB
Answer
- Time taken for reporting a connection timeout depends on how many retry attempts are made by the host before reporting failure.
- 7 mode system support up to SMB version 2 only which has lower number of retry attempts than SMB3, so the error such as
STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
is reported much faster in 7 mode than C-mode where SMB3 connections are made.
