How do I configure the NS lookup order?
1. To access this functionality, access the StorEdge via Telnet or serial console.
2. Press [Enter] at the [menu] prompt and enter the administrator password.
The lookup order tells StorEdge which set of hosts/groups/hostgrps files to use. The
options are LOCAL, NIS, DNS (for hosts only) and NIS+. Each source will be
searched in the order you select, and the search will stop when the object is found.
Therefore, if you wish for your local hosts file to be used for lookup, it should be
first on the list. Otherwise StorEdge will look to first resolve the host via the defined
network resources. Netgroups are also supported for lookup, via NIS and NIS+ only.
This functionality is also available through the StorEdge Web Admin.
