Starting and Stopping the DNS Service
The DNS service is disabled by default. After you complete the DNS configuration, you can start DNS service on a member. You can also disable the DNS service on any Grid member. Be aware that disabling the DNS service on a member removes the NS records from it. If you later re-enable DNS service for this member, the NS records are then restored.
To start DNS service on a member:
- From the Data Management tab, select the DNS tab -> Members tab -> member checkbox -> click the Edit icon.
- In the Member DNS Properties editor, click General -> Basic tab, and do the following:
- LAN1: Select IPv4 to start the DNS service using IPv4 or select IPv6 to start the DNS service using IPv6. Note that for a dual mode member, IPv4 will be selected by default.Â
- Save the configuration.
- Expand the Toolbar and click Start.
- In the Start Member DNS Service dialog box, click Yes.
Grid Manager starts the DNS service on the selected member.
You can stop DNS service on a member by selecting the member checkbox and click Stop from the Toolbar.
