Make an SVM connect to a specific Domain Controller
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- CIFS/SMB
- Domain Controllers
Description
- By default, each ONTAP SVM will do a "domain discovery" approximately every 4 hours to identify the "best" DC to use.
- Setting a specific preferred dc and disabling "domain discovery" will force the SVM to only communicate with the DCs listed as preferred.
