What is the difference between "undetermined" and "OK" in the result of the vserver cifs domain discovered-servers show command?
Applies to
ONTAP 9
Answer
- The Domain Controller is discovered by ONTAP every 4 hours based on the domain servers list,and a query is made to the DNS server even without client access.
- During this process, if the discovered Domain is in use, the Status will be "
OK
". - However, if the Domain is detected but not in use or connected, the Status will be "
undetermined
". - This is a normal expected behavior and is not a problem.
- There is no need to change "
undetermined
" to "OK
".
