Configuring DNS nameservers

In this article

The nameservers you specify must resolve your Enterprise Server instance's hostname.

Warning

Do not change the hostname for Enterprise Server after initial setup. Changing the hostname will cause unexpected behavior, up to and including instance outages and invalidation of users' security keys. If you have changed the hostname for your instance and are experiencing problems, contact Enterprise Support or Premium Support.

  1. Using your virtualization platform tools, open the virtual machine console.
  2. To start your network setup, press S.
  3. Configure nameservers for your instance.
  4. To finish configuring your settings, press D.

  1. SSH into your Enterprise Server instance. If your instance comprises multiple nodes, for example if high availability or geo-replication are configured, SSH into the primary node. If you use a cluster, you can SSH into any node. Replace HOSTNAME with the hostname for your instance, or the hostname or IP address of a node. For more information, see Accessing the administrative shell (SSH).

    Shell
    ssh -p 122 admin@HOSTNAME

  2. To edit your nameservers, use the ghe-setup-network command in visual mode. For more information, see Command-line utilities.

    ghe-setup-network -v

  3. To add your new nameserver entries to your Enterprise Server instance, run the following:

    sudo service resolvconf restart
sudo service dnsmasq restart
