Hi Celerra experts,

On some of our Celerras, when looking at server_cifs server_# output we only see 1 domain controller per domain. This is only on Celerras where the domain has SITE= configured. (Most of our Celerras we see multiple/many domain controllers per domain). The single domain controllre per SITE is by Active Directory design.

I understand that if the one domain controller goes down, the Celerra is suppose to rescan for other domain controllers not associated with the SITE.

How long does this rescan take?

What is the effect to end users while a "global" domain controller is located?

Does EMC have any best practises recommendation for providing domain controller services to Celerra cifs servers?

Thanks for opinions and input!
