How to update DNS servers in Active IQ Unified Manager?
Applies to
- Active IQ Unified Manager 9.x (Linux)
- Active IQ Unified Manager 9.x (Windows)
Answer
- For Active IQ Unified Manager (AIQUM) servers installed using a binary installer (RHEL, Windows):
- AIQUM does not manage or maintain separate DNS settings from the host OS.
- The DNS servers will need to be updated through the host operating system. Refer to the vendor documentation for how to update DNS settings in the host OS.
Note: This is not an exhaustive list of ways to configure DNS on a host OS. If there are any questions about how DNS should be configured, it would be best to work with the Linux or Windows server teams internally for your company.
- For AIQUM servers deployed as an appliance (vApp):
- Access the Network Configuration menu in the AIQUM Maintenance Menu
- Select the option to Change Domain Name Search Settings
- Select Commit Changes
Additional Information
To test the connectivity of configured DNS server:
- On Network Configuration menu, select the option to Display Domain Name Search Settings to check the configured DNS server then select Exit.
- Select the option to Ping a Host to ping the configured DNS server.
- Exits the maintenance console.
