In NetApp ONTAP, the Domain Controller (DC) Discovery configuration determines the domain controllers that a CIFS server uses. This process is managed by the Security Daemon (SecD) and automatically identifies available domain controllers, including preferred DCs, local site DCs, and remote site DCs1.
You can view and manage the discovered domain controllers using the cifs domain discovered-servers commands1. Additionally, you can specify a preferred domain controller for a CIFS server using the vserver cifs modify command2.
Is there a specific aspect of this configuration you’d like to know more about?
Answer D!
Beginning with ONTAP 9.3, you can modify the default process by which domain controllers (DCs) are discovered. This enables you to limit discovery to your site or to a pool of preferred DCs, which can lead to performance improvements depending on the environment.
Specify the desired discovery option: vserver cifs domain discovered-servers discovery-mode modify -vserver vserver_name -mode {all|site|none}
Options for the mode parameter:
all
Discover all available DCs (default).
site
Limit DC discovery to your site.
none
Use only preferred DCs and not perform discovery.
Answer D: Discovery mode
Starting 9.3, the discovery behavior was changed:
A new option ' discovery-mode' is added under the command directory vserver cifs domain discovered-servers to control server discovery.
Three options are available for the newly added command:
all - Default option. Will behave as earlier by discovering all the domain controllers in the domain.
site - Only DC's in local site will be discovered.
none - Server discovery will not be done, and it will depend only on preferred DC's configured.
