![]() ![]() Well, as it turns out, our client’s issues began exactly when their network team upgraded the filers on one of their NetApp storage devices to NetApp OnTap OS 8.1.1 in an attempt to mitigate existing performance issues. SMB ( Server Message Block) protocol, simply put, is a file transfer protocol used on Microsoft networks and is primarily used for file and printer sharing and allows client programs or applications to read, write, create, and update files on a remote server. Understanding this process, it would seem that something about our client’s environment was interfering with these series of commands causing the DWG files to be deleted, but the question remained “what exactly was causing this phenomenon?”įortunately, our client discovered that this behavior was being brought about by an issue with version 2.1 of the SMB protocol.
