Configuring DNS Settings (IPv4 and IPv6)

• CMC Registration — To register the CMC on the DNS server, type:

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o

cfgDNSRegisterRac 1

NOTE: Some DNS servers only register names of 31 characters or fewer. Make sure the

designated name is within the DNS required limit.

NOTE: The following settings are valid only if you have registered the CMC on the DNS server by

setting cfgDNSRegisterRac to 1.

• CMC Name — By default, the CMC name on the DNS server is cmc-<service tag>. To change the

CMC name on the DNS server, type:

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgDNSRacName <name>

where < name > is a string of up to 63 alphanumeric characters and hyphens. For example: cmc-1,

d-345.

NOTE: If a DNS Domain name is not specified then the maximum number of characters is 63. If

a domain name is specified then the number of characters in CMC name plus the number of

characters in the DNS Domain Name must be less than or equal to 63 characters.

• DNS Domain Name — The default DNS domain name is a single blank character. To set a DNS

domain name, type:

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o

cfgDNSDomainName <name>

where < name > is a string of up to 254 alphanumeric characters and hyphens. For example: p45, a-

tz-1, r-id-001.
