Cause

DNS not correctly configured on the array

 

Resolution

Configure DNS Servers for the array.
This can be done from the Unisphere UI > Settings > Management > DNS Servers.

Example:
Manage Domain Name Servers

 

Additional Information

To configure the array management DNS Servers from UEMCLI, /net/dns/config is used.

Example

service@(none) spa:~> uemcli /net/dns/config --help
Storage system address: 127.0.0.1
Storage system port: 443
HTTPS connection

Specify the default DNS server addresses.
Actions:

[Set]
/net/dns/config set { -nameServer <value> | -auto | -noNameServer }

[Show]
/net/dns/config show [ -output { nvp | csv | table [ -wrap ] } ] [ { -brief | -detail | -filter <value> } ]
service@(none) spa:~>

service@(none) spa:~>uemcli /net/dns/config set -nameServer 192.168.xxx.12

Note to configure multiple DNS servers from the command line use a comma between name servers.

service@(none) spa:~>uemcli /net/dns/config set -nameServer 192.168.xxx.12,192.168.xxx.13

The Unity job task created for the change is titled "Modifying DNS Settings" in uemcli view and "
Modify DNS Server" in UI view.
