Workaround

List the available NAS shares and verify that all shares are

displayed and nothing has changed unintentionally.
Verify that you can access the problematic share using a

Windows client:

1. Click Run.
2. Enter the client access VIP and share name: \

\<Client_VIP>\<CIFS_share_name>

CIFS Path Share Not Found

Description

Client accessed a share which refers to an inexistent

directory in the NAS container.

Cause

The NAS system is restored from a backup or

remote replication. During restore time, the

directory structure is not complete and a few

directories may not exist.
Communicate the status and wait for the restore

process to complete.

A client with an authorization to access a higher

directory in the same path deleted or altered a

directory, which is mounted by another client.
If multiple users are accessing the same dataset,

it is recommended to apply a strict permission

scheme to avoid such conflicts.

Workaround

List all available shares on the NAS and identify the

problematic share. It must have an indication that it is not

accessible.

1. Restore the problematic path from a backup.
2. Manually create the missing directories. Set

permissions to control access as required.

3. Remove the share and communicate to the client.

CIFS Write To Read Only Volume

Description

Client tries to modify a file on read-only volume.

Cause

A NAS volume is set to read-only when it is the target of a

replication.
The most frequent reason for this event is either:

The user meant to access the target system for

read purposes, but also tries to modify a file by

mistake.

The user accesses the wrong system due to

similarity in name/IP.

The user is accessing a NAS container, which

was made a replication target without his

knowledge.
