Hi,

Do you have a configured domain in your network?

You need to add domain name or search order in /etc/resolv.conf

example :-

cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain alahli.com

or

cat /etc/resolv.conf
search alahli.com corp.alahli.com

To get a FQDN.

nslookup hostname

Hi!
I check the file resolv.conf in /etc
but can't find.


nslookup hostname

[root@rajHRDQ]/etc # nslookup
Using /etc/hosts on: rajHRDQ

> RAJHRQD
Using /etc/hosts on: RAJHRQD

looking up FILES
Name: VWVIHRDQ
Address: 192.105.3.175

> exit

So please suggest mem My server is in Domain or not. If not, How to configure?

Thanks

Hi ,
You server is not added with domain name information .

Are you looking for DNS host name resolution in your server ?

If yes then you may need to create /etc/resolv.conf with the below sample entries.


Resolv.conf ( You may need to create if exist)
==========

cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain yahoo.com
nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx ---- > Primary DNS Server
nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx ----- . Second DNS server
nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx -----> Third DNS Server


nsswitch.conf ( You may need to create if not exist)
=============

cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: dns [NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=continue] files [NOTFOUND=return UNAVAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=return]
ipnodes: files


If you just want to local resolution only, then you can add you FQDN enrty in /etc/hosts

Example :-

10.xx.xx.xx server.yahoo.com serverA
