[OmniOS-discuss] DFS Replication with CIFS shares

Hi All,

I am looking at setting up DFS replication with CIFS shares where I have a
Windows DFS namespace and I have multiple target folder, is it possible to
get DFS Replication working?

Googling on the web shows results that say the DFS target have to be
windows filesystem
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/e37d0a9a-1759-487c-a560-b5ba60220892/dfs-replication-wont-work-with-2008-dfs-front-end-and-2-cifs-shares-on-netapp?forum=winserverfiles

So my setup is that the SAN/NAS is running OmniOS that provides the CIFS to
the Windows server and with that I have setup DFS namespace with a single
target folder. When I tried to add another target folder to the DFS
namespace,the system prompted me if I want to create a replication group.
Proceeding forward, I got the error saying "The member is running a down
level operating system".

Any help?

Thanks & Regards.
