  • 1.  Set alternate DNS via powerCLI

    Posted Dec 12, 2013 11:42 AM

    Hi Guys

    Is it possible if we canstraight away set alternate DNS address of a esx host without touching its primary address. Like what I want there should not be any task in VC for primary DNS address and it should only be changing the secondary addresss.

    I understand we can set the primary DNS address to same what it is right now but just want to straight away hop to secondary address.

    Please advice.

    Thanks

    Heera

    Hi Heera,

    using the Set-VMHostNetwork cmdlet you have to specify the IP addresses of the primary and secondary DNS servers. There is no way to specify only the secondary DNS server. E.g.:

    Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostNetwork | Set-VMHostnetwork -DnsAddress "192.168.0.1","192.168.0.2" -DnsFromDhcp $false
