Does anyone know the future of the security mode -- "mixed mode"? Several co-workers returned from NetApp training stating that this particular mode is not encouraged and may be dropped in the not too distant future from NetApp support.
Has anyone else heard this or can confirm this to any degree? We are about to set up a new Filer and I'm trying to decide what to do with a volume that is currently configured for mixed mode security on an old Filer.
If anyone has experiences changes from mixed mode to either all CIFS or NFS, I'd appreciate their inputs as well.
Thanks.

I trust this is an individual's surmise and no more. I have not heard of this remote possibility in any shape or form. We rely absolutely on mixed mode presentation to our users; its one of the keystone elements of our single authentication, single filestore architecture. Losing this would be too much to contemplate.

Why do you rely on mixed mode? The filer performs single-form authentication even without mixed mode enabled (ie, it maps between windows and unix by default).

Dear Friends,
FAS270C (hostnames: master and patner) installed in an environment with Unix and Windows. NFS and CIFS licensed. The Unix machines belong to domain A and the Windows machines belong to domain B.
All the volumes on "master" are NFS.
We are configuring some volumes on "patner" for NFS and some for CIFS in different domains.
After running "cifs setup" on patner, it can be seen on the network in the domain B, but it cannot be managed (e.g. computer management to add users).
Will appreciate your advice.
Regards, Gabriel.

we also heard this, in fact something to the effect that it will be removed from the next 7.x release altogether. we decided not to utilize it at that point especially since other solutions made more sense.
