Configure DNS servers

You can add, update, and remove DNS servers, so that you can use fully qualified domain name (FQDN) hostnames rather than IP addresses.

To use fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) instead of IP addresses when specifying hostnames for external destinations, specify the IP address of each DNS server you will use. These entries are used for AutoSupport, alert emails, SNMP notifications, platform services endpoints, Cloud Storage Pools, and more.

Before you begin

• You are signed in to the Grid Manager using a supported web browser.

• You have the Maintenance or Root access permission.

• You have the IP addresses of the DNS servers to configure.
