How Do I Configure the DNS Server?

When installing Agent on a BMS, ensure that the DNS server of the BMS runs properly. This section describes how to configure the DNS server and how to verify the DNS server status.

  2. Run the following command to edit the resolv.conf file:

    vi /etc/resolv.conf

  3. Press i to enter editing mode and enter nameserver DNS server IP address before existing nameserver configurations.

    The format is as follows:

    nameserver 100.125.4.25
