Determining the host address where a system service runs

Before you begin

You need to know the address of where the service director (DNS server) is running (contact IT for assistance, if required).

About this task

System services may not all run on the same management host. You can use nslookup to find the address of the host where a specific system service is running.

Procedure

  1. Using the CLI, type nslookup.
  2. Type server and then enter the IP address of the service director (DNS server).
    The Default Server and Address returns. For example:
    > server 179.21.297.3 
Default server: 179.21.297.3 
Address: 179.21.297.3#53
  3. Enter the name of the system service for which you want to find the host address.
    For example:
    > WEBGUI.ego
Server: 179.21.297.3
Address: 179.21.297.3#53

Name: WEBGUI.ego
Address: 180.321.110.34
