  • vserver cifs domain preferred-dc add

    Add to a list of preferred domain controllers

    Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the admin privilege level.

    Description

    The vserver cifs domain preferred-dc add command adds one or more domain controllers to be used in preference to all others by the specified Vserver for interactions with the specified domain. If a list already exists for the specified domain, the new list is merged with the existing list. This command is not supported for workgroup CIFS servers.

    Each Vserver discovers domain controllers and attempts to sort them internally based on real-world performance. Therefore it should not be necessary to create a preferred list of domain controllers under most circumstances.

    Parameters

    -vserver <vserver name> - Vserver

    This parameter specifies the name of the Vserver for which you want to add preferred domain controllers.

    -domain <TextNoCase> - Fully Qualified Domain Name

    This parameter specifies the fully-qualified name of the domain that the domain controllers belong to.

    -preferred-dc <InetAddress>,…​ - Preferred Domain Controllers

    This parameter specifies a comma-delimited list of IP addresses for domain controllers that belong to the domain specified in the -domain parameter.

    [-skip-config-validation <true>] - Skip Configuration Validation

    Use this parameter to skip the Preferred-DC configuration validation.

    The hosts specified with the -DC-servers parameter are validated to verify that each of the DC servers are reachable, and is providing NETLOGON services.

    The validation fails if there is no valid Preferred-DC server.

    Examples

    The following example adds two domain controllers (192.168.0.100 and 192.168.0.101) to the preferred list used by Vserver vs1 when connecting to the example.com domain:

    cluster1::> vserver cifs domain preferred-dc add -vserver vs1 -domain example.com -preferred-dc 192.168.0.100,192.168.0.101
