The results of that command are below:
Oriole::> vserver services ns-switch show -vserver oriole-svm -database hosts
Vserver: oriole-svm
Name Service Switch Database: hosts
Name Service Source Order: files, dns
One example that really stands out is an entry that shows an address associated with our HAProxy and a hostname of an actual website hosted via that device; neither of them have any NetApp mounted storage. We never added the address manually, so where did it come from?
Same deal with there being entries for the IP addresses associated with switches in our network that have no network mounted storage, but they show up in the hosts section (and were not added as there has never been a reason to add them).
