/etc/resolv.conf on Celerra Control Station and Manager
I have two domains set up at work. I am trying to add the following to the /etc/resolv.conf
The celerra manager is setup to work on the 1st domain.
domain junk1.junk1test.com
search junk1.junk1test.com junk2.junk2test.com
On the celerra manager through the gui, when I am trying to add the exports, the short name of the host without a domain name does not work (for ex: test1)
Why won't it work?

It sounds like the /etc/resolv.conf that you've configured is the one on the control station. This configures name resolution for the CS itself, but not for each datamover.
Each datamover has its own name resolution setup. They're pretty much autonomous, and can use different DNS servers, one can use NIS instead of DNS, etc., so each one is configured independently.
The datamovers don't have a resolv.conf, DNS configuration is done with the GUI or server_dns command. And they don't exactly have the concept of "search domains" like you're probably used to with the resolv.conf config. Instead, what you could do in this case is for each domain name that you want to try to resolve, create a new domain entry (and just point each domain to the same DNS server). This will cause the DM to perform DNS lookups, appending the domain name of each domain configured (like you're trying to do).
