Configuring multiple DNS domain names in DNS search list

This topic describes the steps to configure multiple DNS domain names in the DNS search list.

Procedure

Perform the following steps to configure multiple DNS domain names in the DNS search list.

1. Launch the Delphix Engine Setup interface using the sysadmin credentials.

2. Navigate to the Network widget and click Modify.

3. Under DNS SERVICES, use the DNS Domain Name and DNS Servers boxes for adding multiple DNS domain name configurations.

Each domain name needs to be separated by a comma.

If .local DNS domains are in use, then you must add these explicitly to the list of DNS domains configured in order for name resolution to be successful. Multiple .local subdomains can be added as desired (for example, dev.company.local), or "local" can simply be added to the DNS domain configuration to enable all .local domains to be successfully looked up in DNS. Multicast DNS is not currently supported by the Delphix Engine

In order to understand if there is more than one domain name in the search list, check for "DNS Suffix Search List" from the output of ipconfig /all in the Windows Server:

or check for "search" in /etc/resolv.conf on a Linux server:

To update DNS using the CLI:

1. Log into the CLI as sysadmin and navigate to service > dns.

   CODE

   ssh sysadmin@yourengine
   > service
   > dns

2. List the current DNS configuration and update to add new configurations.

   CODE

   > ls
   > update
   > set domain=xxx.xxx, xxx.xxx

3. Commit the action and verify the new list.

   CODE

   > commit
   > ls

   For example:

   CODE

   delphix> /service dns
   delphix service dns> ls 
   
   Properties     
   type: DNSConfig     
   domain: delphix.com     
   node: (unset)     
   servers: 192.168.0.1   
   
   Operations
   update 
   
   delphix service dns> update
   delphix service dns update *> set domain=delphix.com,one.delphix.com,two.delphix.com
   delphix service dns update *> commit
   delphix service dns>
   delphix service dns> ls 
   
   Properties     
   type: DNSConfig     
   domain: delphix.com,one.delphix.com,two.delphix.com     
   node: (unset)     
   servers: 192.168.0.1   
   
   Operations
