Intermittent problems browsing the CIFS container from Windows.
Scenario:
DR unit seems to be losing connection to backup server. one moment you can browse from windows explorer, next moment it is gone.
Backup server directly connected to the DR using ALB NIC teaming on the Windows side, and ALB bond on the DR side.
Sometimes it works fine, but other times there is significant packet loss when pinging between the boxes and cannot browse the CIFS container.
Setup the bond on DR side with it’s interfaces and LACP, and the same on Windows NIC Teaming with LACP.
For example, on DR side from command line:
network --setbonding --bondif bond0 --mode 802.3ad
This sets bond0 to use LACP as the bonding type (802.3ad)
