Nfs iso CIFS is a standard Windows-based shared-folder technique while NFS is a shared-mount directory similar to the storage repository we had for the virtual machine's VDIs. Let's start with the Windows file-sharing method first.
My CIFS mount for ISOs stopped working recently. I tried to detatch it and re-attach it, however I get the following error: http://imgur.com/0R47r
I tried looking this error up, however I cannot conclusively determine what is failing. I have restarted the host xenserver as well as the host serving the target. So far as I can tell this is the only issue that is observed with our CIFS mounts. Furthermore, I tried manually unmounting the target at the CLI, but I don't recall the exact method I used.
xenserver 6.0.0-50762p
I do not know what exactly caused this issue as other services have not been affected.
Xenserver Cifs Iso Repository File
Xencenter Cifs Iso Library Unplugged

This turned out to be a permission issue on the share end. I was not using the correct credentials. I needed to use an Active Directory account and once I did it was resolved.
