Is there any limitation on concurrent smb connections? I am moving roughly 5k concurrent user sessions to NetApp and trying to scope the amount of Volumes and Pools needed.

    @Cruz, Felix Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

    Thank you for your time and patience!

    The default limit when using basic networking is 1k. If you can, use a standard networking and it gets rid of that limit.

    As for session limits. I do believe there’s a 5k limit for individual user connections (single IP connecting to ANF). If you mean 5k users/session and not a single session, I don’t think that’ll be of issue at all. You’ll need to engage with engineering/support teams to understand ONTAP specific config to know what the specific limits may be.
