Chapter 4. HMC Guided Setup 115
12.The Guided Setup - Configure DNS panel is now shown (see Figure 4-12).
A DNS server is a distributed database for managing host names and their IP addresses.
By adding a DNS server IP address to our HMC will allow us to find other hosts in our
open network by their host name rather than by their IP addresses.
Enter the IP address of your DNS server or servers in the DNS server address field and
click Add to register the IP address. You can enter multiple DNS server addresses here,
and the order that the addresses are entered will be the order in which they are searched
when trying to resolve a host name.
If you make a mistake when entering an address, you can remove it by selecting the entry
and then clicking Remove.
