Enabling a trace on a CIFS domain controller
You can enable a trace to log all the domain controller discovery and connection activities on the storage system. The trace logs can be used to diagnose domain controller connection problems on the storage system.
About this task 
All the domain controller address discovery and connection activities on the storage system are logged to syslog. This information, by default, is logged in the /etc/messages file and the console.
Note: Enabling a trace on a CIFS domain controller might impact system performance.
