Was there a delta in time between the filer and the clinet? Usually AD has to be within 5 minutes of source and destination for Kerberos.
You would want an AD controller to be available, and usually the 1st box up for CIFS authentication...

Hello Toasters,
After running VFILER DR Activate and failing over vFiler to DR site, none of the shares were available.
The DC controller was not available in DR bubble, but we thought that local admin users on vfiler should have access to shares.
We could not access shares.
For certain vFiler DRs when the production side is a domain member, we have a need to have the filer available in a DR test situation in which the domain controller is not available.
We have found in testing that in the absence of the domain controller, all share access is denied. Even when we try accessing with local accounts, which on a Windows file server, would have let us access the share in the absence of a domain controller we are denied access. Is that correct behavior?
We would get: "There are currently no logon server available to service the logon request"
Is there anyway to do vFiler DR where the vFiler is a domain member where one can access the shares in DR without the domain being present--using local accounts only.
Thanks!!!
