Issue

  • The command dns create fails with the following error:

::> vserver services name-service dns create -vserver svm1 -domains domain1.local -name-servers 10.xx.xx.20

Error: command failed: Failed to verify the specified DNS configuration.
       10.xx.xx.20: No route to host.
       Verify that the network configuration is correct and that DNS servers are available. Specify "-skip-config-valid           ation" to skip the configuration validation.

  • DNS Check fails ( If DNS CREATE with -skip-config-validation was already run)
::> dns check -vserver hnasbond007   (svm)
