Dell PowerVault ME5 Series Storage System CLI Reference Guide

Sets a domain host name for each controller module to identify it for management purposes.

A controller configured to use DHCP addressing will send the management hostname to a DHCP  server. The DHCP server will in turn register or update the controller's fully qualified domain name (FQDN) on DNS servers. The FQDN is created by appending the management hostname to the DNS domain string that identifies the controller.

set dns-management-hostname

[controller a|b]

[name <hostname>]

Optional. Specifies whether to change controller A or B, only. If this parameter is omitted, changes affect the controller being accessed.

A host name to use for a controller.

• The name must differ for each controller.
• A name can have from 1 to 63 bytes.
• A name is not case sensitive.
• A name must start with a letter and end with a letter or number.
• A name can include letters, numbers, or hyphens; no periods.

Running the reset dns-management-hostname command will reset the hostname to its default value.
