Looks like there's no simulator later than 8.1.1 available yet. Is there any way to upgrade a simulator to 8.1.1P1?
On that subject, do they have any way yet to upgrade a simulator at all or do we still just scrap the old one and build a new one?

Randy,
I know there was at least one BURT for Mac behavior, one in particular that could hang a filer. I think that may have been NFS though. I was looking at the 8.1.1P1 release yesterday. There were several CIFS related fixes in it. We do virtually no CIFS so I just skimmed over them. You may check it out and see if anything was fixed or applies.

Hello All,
We're gearing up to upgrade our v3170 pair from 7.3.5P5 to 8.1.1 at the end of this month.
We're testing some things against a 8.1.1 simulator and have had reports of CIFS timeouts when running tests from a Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) client.
Performance on the simulator is obviously abysmal when we're running a VMware appliance on a Windows desktop using a single SATA disk, but this appears to be more of a protocol timeout issue. The user gets a spinning wheel for several minutes and only in Snow Leopard.
Anyone know of any issues with 8.1.1 CIFS and Mac? We had heard some anecdotal accounts of Office issues but we're tested for those.
Hope to hear from you,
Randy
