Displaying the zone definition for the replication network domain
Each network in HCP is associated with a domain. Multiple networks can be associated with the same domain. If you’re using DNS for domain name resolution, the DNS needs to include a zone definition for each combination of network and domain.
If an HCP system is involved in replication, the zone definition for the replication network domain for that system needs to be added to the upstream DNS servers for the other system on the replication link. An upstream DNS server is a DNS server to which HCP routes the outbound communications HCP initiates (for example, for sending log messages to syslog servers or for communicating with Active Directory).
If the domain for the replication network is shared with other networks, the domain name in the zone definition you add for the replication network domain must be:
replication.admin.replicaton-network-domain-name
From the Replication page, you can display the zone definition for the replication network domain, formatted for Unix DNS servers. You can then copy that definition to the upstream DNS servers.
Procedure
In the top-level menu of the HCP System Management Console, select
.On the left side of the Replication page, click Settings.
On the replication Settings page, click Zone Definition.
Results
