Manual "DNS" Entries on Dashboard

To create manual DNS entries which will become /etc/hosts entries, a cluster control fact file is created via the steps below:

1. Login to the Dashboard

   ssh root@<dashboard_IP>
   

2. Navigate to the cluster control facts directory:

   cd /var/run/cluster-control/facts/
   

3. Create the file manual_<HOSTNAME>_ip, where HOSTNAME is the host's proper name and edit the file to contain a SINGLE IP:

   echo <Host_IP> > manual_<HOSTNAME>_ip
   

   OR,

   vi manual_<HOSTNAME>_ip
   i
   <Host_IP>
   :wq
   enter
   

   Example

   

4. The file name and IP will be scraped by the system and added to the /etc/hosts list:
