Hello, Dacuna1. It is absolutely possible to scan and write files directly to FluidFS shares, and really to write files from any device, so long as current SMB (or NFS) protocol RFCs are followed. The most common problem we see with printer/scanner solutions and writing to a FluidFS share tends to be regarding use of old portions of the SMB protocol that Microsoft documents as being “deprecated”. In some instances, this is related to the use of aged MFPs with old/out-of-date firmware, but the common root cause in every instance we’ve seen is the use of old portions of the SMB protocol. So, the Engineering team for our FluidFS product line has advised  that we have dropped support for deprecated SMB commands as of FluidFS version 3.0. (this has been the case since late 2013) Did the Dell Support team verify that this is the error you're getting with a packet capture?
Hello world, I'm a system admin at a higher education organization and we are having issues when trying to scan to folder in our new storage Compellent FS8600. We are using an MFP ( Konica minolta, Xerox, and Canon) to scan to folder. We have moved from the Windows file share system to this Storage. We have no issues when adding permissions to the account we use to scan to folders. We have verified that the account we use to scan has all the access needed to the share file on the compellent FS8600. So far we have discovered that, although we can map to the path need on a windows machine with the account information, we are not able to scan to the file share using SMB on neother of the MFP. We have contact all three machines support team and also the DELL support team. We have recently received information that this CAN't BE DONE. Is this true? Is there no way to scan to a file share on Compellent FS8600 using SMB? We are in desperate need of help at this point because this use has stop our plan for implementation around the whole organization. We have migrated departments from their old File Share system on Windows servers to this File Sahre system on the Dell Compellent FS8600 and now all these users are experiencing issues when trying to scan to their departmental folders. Can anybody help out? Thank you
