From the System Administrator guide, pg 235 (of ONTap 6.1):

For the F8xx model:

CIFS limits by filer memory 3 GB Maximum number of users 48,000 Maximum number of shares 96,000 Maximum number of open files 960,000 Maximum number of locked files 1,058,304

Greetings,

Does anybody here have any evidence, anecdotal or otherwise, as to the maximum number of CIFS shares one may have configured on an F840c, and what the performance impact of large numbers (>400) of shares might be?

Any ideas are welcome; there doesn't seem to be much in the way of doco on the matter.

Thanks in advance.
