DNS change

[interpolis]

Hi,

I need to change the ip-addresses DNS servers for our Netapp filers.

Can i do this without rebooting the filers ?

Is a change in resolv.conf sufficient?

Should i do a dns info and dns flush afterwards ?

Thx

hi,

this work without a reboot of your filer. you can change it in resolve.conf file, or you can make this changes via filerview. there network / configure host name resolution (dns & nis).

Hi,

          I was under the assumption that any changes made to a config file will take effect only after a storage node is rebooted. So in the above case of making changes in the "resolv.conf" file doesn't that require a reboot? Kindly clarify me because i have a similar exercise to be done in our environment. Your input will be of great help.

Thanks

You can make the changes in resolv.conf and then verify by running the command `dns info` from CLI. A reboot should not be necessary.

Beware, if you do change the DNS Domainname with System Manager 1.1 it will not be there after a reboot.

If you do it in FilerView it is OK and if you edit the config files (resolv.conf and rc) then it will be OK too.
