Using a resolv_conf resource

A resolv_conf resource represents a file containing valid /etc/resolv.conf entries that define Domain Name Protocol name-server information for local resolver routines.

A resolv_conf resource can be allocated to a standalone machine as part of a bos_inst operation, or to a diskless or dataless machine as part of a dkls_init or dtls_init operation. Upon successful installation and reboot, the machine will be configured to use the domain name services defined by the resource.

The following are sample entries in a resolv_conf resource file:
nameserver      129.35.143.253
domain          test.ibm.com
