CIFS setup using ONTAPI library might lead to the removal of already
existing user-created CIFS shares
Due to a software bug in Data ONTAP, using the ONTAPI library to execute
CIFS setup might lead to the removal of existing user-created shares. The
default CIFS shares are not affected.
System Manager 2.x uses the ONTAPI library. To work around this issue, use
the CLI to set up CIFS.
Storage system might panic when not specifying an export path
If you enter the CLI command exportfs -uf to remove all entries from the
access cache and unexport file system paths, the storage system might panic if
you do not specify an export path. It is valid to use the -f option without
specifying an export path, but not the -u option.
To avoid this issue, do not use the -u and -f options at the same time. Use
the exportfs -f command to remove all entries from the access cache. Use the
exportfs -ua command to unexport all file system paths. Use the exportfs
-u path command to unexport a specific file system path.
FTPS is not supported
File Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer (FTPS) was introduced in a
previous Data ONTAP release, but it is not supported in the Data ONTAP 8.0
release family.
If you enabled FTPS in a previous Data ONTAP release family, it is no longer
available as an option for file access when you run the Data ONTAP 8.0
release family.
