Dell EMC D-PDD-DY-23 Exam - Topic 4 Question 15 Discussion

Actual exam question for Dell EMC's D-PDD-DY-23 exam

[All D-PDD-DY-23 Questions]

When using CIFS from a PowerProtect DD system, what should be changed on a Windows machine?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The SESSTIMEOUT setting controls the session timeout for CIFS (SMB) connections. Adjusting this value to 3600 seconds helps ensure that CIFS sessions stay active for a sufficient duration, preventing premature disconnections when the PowerProtect DD system interacts with the Windows machine. This can enhance the reliability and stability of CIFS-based backups and restores.

I’m pretty sure SESSTIMEOUT should be 3600 seconds, not 7200.

I have a feeling that SMBTimeout is important, but I can't remember if it should be 7200 seconds or if that's for something else entirely.

If I recall correctly, SESSTIMEOUT is usually set to 7200 seconds for better performance, but I might be mixing it up with another setting.

A) SMBTimeout to 7200 seconds. That's the only way to ensure your PowerProtect DD system doesn't get stuck in traffic, if you know what I mean. *winks*

C) CIFSTimeout to 3600 seconds. Easy peasy, just like my grandma used to make. Or was that her CIFS settings? I can never remember.

I agree with Belen, because CIFS uses SMB protocol so it makes sense to adjust SMBTimeout.
