Fixed - the issue was I don't have permissions to the root directory of the checkpoint, i.e. bcptest, but I do have access to the subfolders. So I shouldn't try to share out /root_vdm_7/bcptest, I should try to share out /root_vdm_7/bcptest/data which the account has access to.  [nasadmin[NAME] ~]$ server_cifssupport server_2 -accessright -name admin -domain domain.local -path /root_vdm_7/bcptest/dataserver_2 : done ACCOUNT GENERAL INFORMATION Name                     : adminDomain                   : domain.localPath                     : /root_vdm_7/bcptest/dataAllowed mask             : 0x301ffAction                   : List Folder / Read dataAction                   : Create Files / Write dataAction                   : Create Folders / Append DataAction                   : Read Extended AttributesAction                   : Write Extended AttributesAction                   : Traverse Folder / Execute FileAction                   : Delete Subfolders and FilesAction                   : Read AttributesAction                   : Write AttributesAction                   : DeleteAction                   : Read Permissions  1. Create test CIFS servers on DR side 2. Create R/O checkpoint from the replicated file system on DR side 3. Map a drive with your domain admin account to \\testcifsserver\c$ (this initiates a session so that your account is connected and the Celerra knows about you - without doing this, when running server_cifssupport server_2 -accessright -name admin -domain domain.local -path /root_vdm_7/bcptest it would fail to coonect to my account. 3. Using MMC snapin computer management to test CIFS server 4. Share out to c:\root_vdm_78\bcptest\data 5. Map drive
We're trying to come up with a valid way to test our replicated data from EMC Celerra without interupting production.  Setup Version: 6.0.41-4, flare 30 on Clariion CX4-480 2.5TB CIFS file system associated with vdm1 Replication of both vdm1 and CIFS file system to remote site  The idea I had and have been trying is to create a checkpoint on the remote sites CIFS file system, create a new CIFS server and mount this checkpoint to this. The problem is vdm1 on the remote site is Unloaded, which pretty much rules out trying to do this.  We read that you could stop vdm1 replication from the production side, then load vdm1 on the remote site. By doing this, the productions CIFS server was then visible at the remote site and DNS was updated, which if we didn't change the record back it would have interupted connections to the production CIFS server.  This is the site we based the above test from  [URL]  Thanks
