Reset and rediscover servers

Contributors netapp-thomi netapp-ahibbard

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.

Steps
  1. Enter the following command: vserver cifs domain discovered-servers reset-servers -vserver vserver_name

  2. Display information about the newly rediscovered servers: vserver cifs domain discovered-servers show -vserver vserver_name

Example

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
