HOW TO ADD ENTRIES NSSWITCH / RESOLV.CONF SOLARIS 11 (CONFIGURING DNS RESOLUTION)

 How to add entries in nsswitch.conf/resolv.conf Solaris 11


1.- Add entries in the ipnode and hosts in the nsswitch.conf to use dns after check files

# svccfg -s name-service/switch
svc:/system/name-service/switch> setprop config/host = astring:"files
dns"

svc:/system/name-service/switch> setprop config/ipnode = astring:"files dns"
svc:/system/name-service/switch> exit

# svcadm refresh name-service/switch

# svcadm restart name-service/switch

2.- Add DNS entries 10.0.0.4 and 10.0.0.5 with domain example.com on the server

# svccfg -s dns/client
svc:/network/dns/client> setprop config/nameserver = net_address: (10.0.0.4 10.0.0.5)


svc:/network/dns/client> setprop config/domain = example.com

svc:/network/dns/client> listprop config

config                      application
config/value_authorization astring     solaris.smf.value.name-service.dns.client
config/nameserver          net_address 10.0.0.4 10.0.0.5
config/domain              astring     example.com
svc:/network/dns/client> exit


# svcadm refresh dns/client

# svcadm restart dns/client


Now you have configured the resolv.conf and nsswitch.conf
