Configuring the hostname, domain name, and DNS

Users can configure the hostname, domain name, and DNS from the Network Settings page.

Procedure

  1. Click Network Settings on the left navigation pane, and click IP and DNS Settings tab on the right pane.
  2. On the Host Name, Domain Name and DNS for virtual appliance area, change the hostname, DNS, and domain name.
    Note
    • The domain name is optional. To configure both the hostname and domain name, a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is defined. In this case, this FQDN is used for vCenter registration and server-certificate generation. Ensure that the DNS is correctly set in vCenter.

    • To use the hostname to connect vCenter and vCenter managed EXSi hosts, configure a DNS for Lenovo XClarity Integrator to make Lenovo XClarity Integrator access vCenter and ESXi hosts through the hostname.

  3. Click Save.
