Hi all,
i have a Filer running NIS and CIFS and specifically, specifying some Unix group (accessed by NIS) inside the CIFS configuration
the problem is the following : the Giga card make some times to be up (as the spanning tree in the cisco switch requires 30 sec to come up) in this laps of time - NIS is unavailable (as the Filer complain at the reboot) - CIFS starts but doesn't correctly
you can see the related bug 32129 : http://now.netapp.com/AskNOW/highlight_html.jsp?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnow.netapp....
my question is : does anyone already encountered and solved this problem in another way that Netapp say (forgetting about Unix group in CIFS config / copy the NIS group definition locally on the Filer) the costumer is thinking about desengage the spanning tree at the switch side , i am not sure it will succeed

set the port on the cisco to portfast (i.e.: disable spanning tree).
The interface should work in a couple of seconds.
in this laps of time
- NIS is unavailable (as the Filer complain at the reboot)
- CIFS starts but doesn't correctly

it probably will.
