server_cifs has the info about the number of active CIFS client connection - see the man page for usage  server_stats problably has that as well
I am moving from VNX to Isilon platform and as part of the migration I want to identify the extent of CIFS usage from each data  mover. Like how many CIFS connections are active or in use.  I have narrowed down to the two below command : server_netstat server_2 | grep -I est | grep -i  445 server_netstat server_2 | grep -i est | grep -i cifs  But i am not sure what is difference  between the two. Can anyone help?  there is an service name  entry in /etc/services named "cifs"
How to get the quantity of CIFS connection in use
