Configuring the cluster 277
/cfg/sys/dns
followed by:
health <interval> Sets the interval for the Nortel SNAS to check
the health of the DNS servers. At the specified
interval, the Nortel SNAS performs a DNS
query to each DNS server in the system
configuration to determine its health status.
interval is an integer that indicates the
time interval in seconds (s), minutes (m),
hours (h), or days (d). If you do not specify
a measurement unit, seconds is assumed.
The default is 10 (10 seconds).
hdown <count> Sets the health check down counter.
count is a positive integer that indicates
the number of times a DNS server health
check can time out before the Nortel SNAS
determines the DNS server is down. The
default is 2.
hup <count> Sets the health check up counter.
count is a positive integer that indicates
the number of times a DNS server health
check returns a positive response before
the Nortel SNAS determines the DNS
server is up. The default is 2.

To configure the cluster to use external DNS servers, use the following
command:
