Checking the resolution of the cluster FQDN

Edit online

About this task

Hypervisor hosts that attempt to mount cloned or recovered VMs in a view must be able to resolve the cluster's fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For Cloud Edition clusters, this FQDN is the hostname. Machines that are mounting a view for storage must also be able to resolve the FQDN. Verify that the FQDN can be resolved from each machine that is mounting the view.

Procedure

To ensure that machines can resolve the FQDN, complete the following steps:

  1. Securely connect (SSH) in to the hypervisor host that is going to mount the view.
  2. Ping the FQDN that you specified for the cluster: 
    ping <myClusterFQDN>

Results

If packets are received and the request does not time out, the FQDN is found. If the request times out, fix the networking problem.
