Creating a DNS server to establish a connection to a cloud account

Domain Name System (DNS) translates IP addresses to host names, which are used by cloud service providers. The system requires a Domain Name System (DNS) to convert these host names to IP addresses to establish a cloud account or to connect to cloud based storage.

Before you create a connection to a cloud service provider or connect to cloud storage, ensure that you specify at least one DNS server to manage host names. You can have up to two DNS servers that are configured on the system. To configure DNS for the system, enter a valid IP address and name for each server. Both IPv4 and IPv6 address formats are supported.

To create a Domain Name System server for host name resolution by using the management GUI, select Settings > System > DNS.

mkdnsserver [-name name]
            –ip ipaddr
