Modify DNS Information

To modify DNS information, use the ilomconfig modify dns command. When you specify an XML file name, the command modifies information defined in the exported service processor configuration XML file rather than modifying Oracle ILOM.

  1. To modify DNS information, type:

    # ilomconfig modify dns [--nameservers=nameserverlist] [--autodns=enabled|disabled] [--retries=retries] [--searchpath=searchpathlist] [--timeout=timeout] [--xmlfile=filename.xml]

    Option Description Example

    --nameservers

    List of DNS nameserver IP addresses for Oracle ILOM separated by commas.

    10.168.1.10

    --auto-dns

    Oracle ILOM Auto-DNS state.

    enabled or disabled

    --searchpath

    List of search suffixes in preferred order and separated by commas.

    domain1.com,domain2.com

    --retries

    Number of retry attempts for DNS.

    Integer between 0 and 5.

    --timeout

    Number of seconds to wait for a DNS response. This can be used with up to six search suffixes, each separated by a comma.

    2

    --xmlfile

    Modify specified XML file rather than local Oracle ILOM service processor. Must be followed by = and the pathname to the file.
