What must the administrator check as a next step?

An administrator has received multiple trouble tickets from users who are unable to access a particular Distributed share.

While troubleshooting, the administrator observes that data located on FSVM 3 can be accessed, but the data located on FSVMs 1 and 2 is inaccessible. The administrator receives this message when attempting to access data on FSVMs 1 and 2:

Network object not found

Both FSVM 1 and 2 nodes successfully reply to pings, and the administrator is able to access data via the node IP.

What must the administrator check as a next step?
A . Check if all DNS records are created on the DNS server.
B. Check if SM3v1 is enabled on FSVM node 1 and 2.
C. Check ifkeberos_time_skewis logged on the client.
D. Check if user permissions are configured correctly.

Answer: A

Explanation:

According to Nutanix Support & Insights1, a distributed share is a type of SMB share that distributes the hosting of top-level directories across FSVMs. To access a distributed share, you need to use a DNS name that resolves to all FSVMs in the cluster. If some DNS records are missing or incorrect, then some FSVMs may not be reachable by their DNS name, resulting in the network object not found error. This could explain why data located on FSVM 3 can be accessed, but data located on FSVMs 1 and 2 is inaccessible.
