As a best practice, if you have only one type of DMA with traffic directed to a container, it is best to select the corresponding marker type (for example, CommVault). Conversely, as a best practice, if you have traffic from a DMA that is not one of the supported marker types, it is best to disable marker detection for the container by selecting the None marker type. 4. Modify the connection type options for the selected container as needed (containers support None, NFS/CIFS, and OST). - If you want to modify an existing NFS/CIFS, NFS, or CIFS connection type container settings, see the NFS/ CIFS, NFS-only, and CIFS-only options available in Creating an NSF or CIFS Connection Type Container, and make the corresponding changes. - If you want to modify the existing OST connection type container settings, see the options available in Creating An OST Connection Type Container, and make the corresponding changes. - If you want to modify the existing unassigned (None) connection type container settings, see the options available in Creating An Unassigned Connection Type Container, and make the corresponding changes.

Only the DR Series system administrator can change the password for the CIFS administrator user. To change the password that allows access for the CIFS administrator user, use the DR Series system CLI authenticate --set --user administrator command.
