SMB Client Clock Skew
Description SMB client clock skew errors.
Cause The client clock must be within 5 minutes of the Active Directory clock.
Workaround Configure the client to clock-synch with the Active Directory server (as an NTP server) to avoid clock skews
errors.
SMB Client Disconnect on File Read
Description The SMB client is disconnected on file read.
Cause Extreme SMB workload during NAS controller failover.
Workaround The client needs to reconnect and open the file again.
SMB Client Incorrect Password Login Failure
Description An SMB client fails to log in.
Cause The client supplied the wrong password upon connection.
Workaround
1. Interactive clients can retry with the correct password.
2. Applications and servers might need special attention as the user/password, which is usually set in a
script or configuration file, has probably expired.
SMB Delete On Close Denial
Description
Files are deleted while they are in use.
Cause If multiple users are working on the same file and one user deletes the opened file, it is marked for deletion,
and is deleted after it is closed. Until then, the file appears in its original location but the system denies any
attempt to open it.
Workaround Notify the client who tried to open the file that the file has been deleted.
SMB File Sharing Conflict
Description
SMB file access is denied due to a sharing conflict.
Cause When a file is opened using the SMB protocol, the opening application communicates the sharing mode that
must be used while this file is open.
This sharing mode describes what other clients' activities are allowed on this file, while it is open.
This definition is sent by the application and the client cannot control/configure it.
Once there is a violation of the sharing definition, the client receives an access denied error and an event is
issued.
Workaround This is an informative event. The administrator may contact the locking client and request to close the
application referencing this file.
It could be that the application that opened the file did not shut down gracefully. It is recommended to reboot
the client if possible.
SMB Locking Inconsistency
Description
The SMB service is interrupted due to SMB interlocking issues.
Cause There are various SMB client interlocking scenarios.
Workaround The system recovers itself automatically, an event is issued when recovered.
