Hi,

I can confirm that this also worked fine for the migrations I've performed so far, but it's worth pointing out that this NetBIOS alias functionality has been added to cDOT again starting from Data ONTAP 8.3 through the "vserver cifs add-netbios-alias" command.

Best regards,

Filip

Hi Kevin,

CNAMEs + registering a SPN for each CNAME alias should work great (even if kerberos is mandatory).

Cheers,

Dan

We did this on 7-mode without netbios aliases, and theoretically it should work for you as well. Each file server had a vFiler created with a different IP address. Once we had our final sync and cutover, we changed the DNS entry for the old file server to point to the IP address of the new vFiler, and assigned the original vFiler DNS name as a CNAME alias.

I think this would work in CDOT as well.

Hi,

Looks like NetBIOS aliases are no longer supported with CDOT. What recommendations do people have to consolidate many different Windows file servers to a new CDOT cluster?

Thank you.
Kevin
