Verify the CIFS server name of SVM:

::*> cifs show -vserver SVM1

Vserver: SVM1 CIFS Server NetBIOS Name: CIFSSERVERNAME NetBIOS Domain/Workgroup Name: DEMO Fully Qualified Domain Name: DEMO.DOMAINA.LOCAL Organizational Unit: CN=Computers Default Site Used by LIFs Without Site Membership: Workgroup Name: - Kerberos Realm: - Authentication Style: domain CIFS Server Administrative Status: up CIFS Server Description: List of NetBIOS Aliases: -
