Some CIFS Applications Block Out Migrations
If any client holds a CIFS file open during a file migration, the migration may fail for
that file. Applications have the option to universally block all CIFS-read access to a
file. This is a commonly-used CIFS feature, and it blocks all users including members
of the Backup Operator’s group. If an application opens a CIFS file and blocks all
access to it, the migration cannot succeed for that file.
You can use the
show cifs-service open-files command to get a list of all open,
read-locked files (see “Listing Open Files in a CIFS Service” on page 9-9 of the CLI
Maintenance Guide). To close one from the CLI, use
close cifs file (see “Closing an
Open File” on page 9-12 of the same manual).
