Specifying which users receive CIFS shutdown messages

Changing the setting for CIFS shutdown messages

When you issue the cifs terminate command, by default Data ONTAP sends a message to all open client connections to notify users when CIFS service will be disconnected. You can change the default setting so that Data ONTAP never sends these messages or sends them only to connected clients that have open files.

To specify which users receive CIFS shutdown messages, complete the following step.

Step	Action
1	Enter the following command: options cifs.shutdown_msg_level 0 \| 1 \| 2 Use `0` to never send CIFS shutdown messages. Use `1` to send messages only to connected clients that have open files. Use `2` to send messages to all open connections, which is the default setting.
