POST /name-services/dns

Creates DNS domain and server configurations for an SVM.

Important notes

  • Each SVM can have only one DNS configuration.

  • The domain name and the servers fields cannot be empty.

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

  • Configuring more than one DNS server is recommended to avoid a single point of failure.

  • 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.
