Hello Team
I would like to ask if Samba Multichannel is officially supported on AIX with Samba.
From what I can see:
- Samba binaries appear to be compiled with multichannel support
- configuration options related to multichannel are available
However, I cannot get SMB Multichannel to work correctly in practice.
Environment:
- AIX version: 7.2 TL5
- Samba version: 4.21
- Client OS: Windows 2019/AD
- Network configuration: multiple NICs
Current smb.conf relevant settings:
server multi channel support = yes
aio read size = 1
aio write size = 1
interfaces = ...
bind interfaces only = yes
What I observe:
client connects successfully
SMB3 is negotiated correctly
only a single TCP connection/channel is established
no additional channels are created
Questions:
Is SMB Multichannel officially supported on AIX builds of Samba?
Has anyone successfully configured SMB Multichannel on AIX?
I would appreciate any confirmation, recommendations, or working configuration examples.
Thank you,
