Update DNS domain and server configurations

PATCH /name-services/dns/{uuid}

Introduced In: 9.13

Updates DNS domain and server configurations of an SVM.

Important notes

  • Both DNS domains and servers can be modified.

  • The domains and servers fields cannot be empty.

  • IPv6 must be enabled if IPv6 family addresses are specified for the servers field.

  • The DNS server specified using the servers field is validated during this operation.

The validation fails in the following scenarios:

  1. The server is not a DNS server.

  2. The server does not exist.

  3. The server is unreachable.

    • The DNS server validation can be skipped by setting the property "skip_config_validation" to "true".

    • Dynamic DNS configuration can be modified.

    • If both DNS and Dynamic DNS parameters are modified, DNS parameters are updated first followed by Dynamic DNS parameters. If updating Dynamic DNS fails, then the updated DNS configuration is not reverted.

The following parameters are optional:

  • timeout

  • attempts

  • source_address_match

  • packet_query_match

  • tld_query_enabled

  • skip_config_validation

  • dynamic_dns.enabled

  • dynamic_dns.use_secure

  • dynamic_dns.time_to_live

  • vserver services name-service dns modify

  • vserver services name-service dns dynamic-update modify
