Best way to disable access to CIFS / NFS Shares - access to device
We are in process of migrating from one system to the next and when done we need to disable access to the device temporarily. I was thinking instead of disabling the CIFS service to use server_ifconfig and disable the CGE devices until it is needed again. Is this a good way of going about this? Thanks in advance.

server_ifconfig down will disable that one specific interface, not the actual cge device. That should work .. How are you migrating .?

We are using professional services to do the migration but when done we need make sure users that have shortcuts on their desktop to the old system do not work anymore.

I believe we are changing DNS names or keeping the same the decision is still being made. The only thing I can think of to keep the system up but not accesible to users but to staff to copy files as needed is to change the DNS name the IP address or remove it from active directory so its only accesible through IP.

i probably dont' understand what you are doing, but typically you want to keep DNS name the same so you don't have to reconfigure login scripts, the way people connect to the CIFS servers. If you are using Dynamic DNS, you let it updates its AD DNS record with new IP address so from user perspective nothing changed, unless they are using IP address to map to CIFS shares. Are you using Celerra Replicator ?
