Updating the DNS configuration for the Hosted Engine

Hi All, I've had a look through the documentation and not been able to find any up to date information on how to do this. We've now built a permanent DNS solution and need to update the Hosted Engine DNS server details. Luckily, I have managed to update the hosts configuration using the Data Center Settings so it's just the Hosted Engine to complete. Any advice on where should I update? I didn't want to update the if config file, as I assumed it's controlled by ansible somewhere! Kind Regards, Nathan

Do you refer to -ha's dns monitor? This is done by calling 'dig' without specifying a server, so it uses (by default) your system-wide settings, usually in /etc/resolv.conf. If you meant to ask about something else, please clarify. Best regards, -- Didi

Hi Didi, We were trying to update the Hosted Engine DNS servers (the ones listed in resolv.conf). For now we have just edited using the interface config in the network-scripts directory. Hopefully that was the correct option.
