load-balancing CIFS

[jfbesnardeau]

Is-it possible to test CIFS connection with probe ?

We need to check that unc link is ok (read or write).

Are there some TLC script usuable ?

You can use the CIFS to load balance file.by default the CSM will not close open connections when a server fails a probe.

You can however change that behaviour, by configuring the "failaction purge" option: in that case, the CSM will send a RST (there is no way to send a FIN) to the clients, for all open connections to that PROBE_FAILED server.
