Powerbroker and DNS server
I understand that powerbroker (root access) access needs some DNS server functioning properly. I mean unix server should point to working DNS server. Is it possible to configure power broker with /etc/hosts file as a failover. I mean in case DNS server fails to resolve the server name and it should resolve through /etc/hosts.
Is there any mandatory configuration of DNS server with powerbroker server ?
Appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks,
Shiv

Re: Powerbroker and DNS server
You can configure /etc/nsswitch.conf file as,
hosts: dns files
so that it will lookup /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts also.

Re: Powerbroker and DNS server
To answer your question specifically, no, the server doesn't have to be pointed to a seperate working DNS server. Assuming this server is its own pbmaster (its own hostname is set as the submitmasters and acceptmasters in the pb.settings file), the nsswitch.conf file should be as described by Muthukumar.

Re: Powerbroker and DNS server
/etc/nsswitch.conf is the place to configure this.
man nsswitch.conf will give a lot info.
Best of luck
