Virtual CIFS Servers A Virtual CIFS Server "virtualizes" the network name and IP address associated with a particular CIFS service/share.

File Shares. Clients access the Virtual File Shares via the CIFS interface to those Virtual CIFS Servers; they do not need to know which physical node is providing the service. When you create a Virtual CIFS Server, you will need to assign it to a primary node and one or more backup nodes.

The service could then become active on another node, causing process to initiate failover of the associated Virtual CIFS Server.
