name hostname
A host name to use for a controller.
• The name must differ for each controller.
• A name can have from 1 to 63 bytes.
• The value is case sensitive.
• A name must start with a letter and end with a letter or number.
• A name can include letters, numbers, or hyphens; no periods.
Examples Set the domain host name for controller A.

Description Configures settings to resolve domain names using the Domain Name Service (DNS).
Configuring the storage system to communicate with a DNS server within your network will allow network
changes, such as frequent IP address changes in a DHCP environment, to occur without interrupting
notifications sent by the system to users.
After a reachable DNS server is configured on the system, or if DHCP is enabled and a DHCP server is
reachable, a DNS server may be automatically acquired. Otherwise, you can configure an SMTP server using
a name such as mysmtpserver.example.com. Further, you could configure search domain example.com and
SMTP server mysmtpserver and reach the same destination.
You must use this command to configure DNS parameters before you configure email parameters in any
environments where DNS will be required to resolve server names.
The priority of DNS servers and search domains is:
• User-supplied, using this command
• DHCPv6
• DHCPv4

Syntax
set dns-parameters
[controller a|b|both]
nameservers nameserver-IP-list
[search-domains domain-name-list]
Parameters
controller a|b|both]
Optional. Specifies whether to change controller A, B, or both. If this parameter is omitted, changes affect
the controller being accessed.
nameservers nameserver-IP-list
An ordered list of name server addresses that are recognized within your network to be queried by the DNS
resolver. You can specify a comma-separated list containing from one to three IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. The
resolver will query the network in the order prescribed by the list until reaching a valid destination address.
Any valid setting is treated as enabling DNS resolution for the system.
