Hello 🙂
Using the console with ONTAP 9.7.
I've been trying to turn on local accounts so I can create a cifs share. Once I elevate the console and input the command: vserver cifs options modify -vserver vservername -is-local-users-and-groups-enabled true I get the error
Error: command failed: entry doesn't exist
Anyone have any suggestions? Been trying the web for answers and not getting anywhere..

Maybe you have a typo in your vservername? Or you forgot "vserver cifs create" first

I think that's part of the problem. See we have a configured SVM that has 2 Volumes. Both are NFS but we need to convert one over to CIFS. It has no Domain attached so it has to be local user accounts.
I enabled CIFS on the SVM but using the ONTAP GUI only allows for Domain access to CIFS. So CIFS is there, turned on but not "configured" because of the Domain issue.

#

All the tutorial I found online only show how to configure a new SVM. We need this current one if possible.

#

I tried modifying the existing one buuut..
vserver cifs modify -vserver DDS01_VI -status-admin down -workgroup WORKGROUP

You need "vserver cifs create" to create the server first

The vserver already exists.. Will running the "vserver cifs create" with the existing vserver name cause an issue?

Thank you so much. I was terrified that I would literally overwrite the existing NFS server... Thankyou!
