Resetting and rediscovering servers on your CIFS server allows the CIFS server to discard stored information about LDAP servers and domain controllers. After discarding server information, the CIFS server reacquires current information about these external servers. This can be useful when the connected servers are not responding appropriately.
The following example resets and rediscovers servers for storage virtual machine (SVM, formerly known as Vserver) vs1:
cluster1::> vserver cifs domain discovered-servers reset-servers -vserver vs1 cluster1::> vserver cifs domain discovered-servers show Node: node1 Vserver: vs1 Domain Name Type Preference DC-Name DC-Address Status --------------- -------- ---------- ----------- ------------- ------- example.com MS-LDAP adequate DC-1 1.1.3.4 OK example.com MS-LDAP adequate DC-2 1.1.3.5 OK example.com MS-DC adequate DC-1 1.1.3.4 OK example.com MS-DC adequate DC-2 1.1.3.5 OK
