crsctl query dns

Use the crsctl query dns command to obtain a list of addresses returned by DNS lookup of the name with the specified DNS server.

Syntax

crsctl query dns {-servers | -name name [-dnsserver DNS_server_address]
[-port port] [-attempts number_of_attempts] [-timeout timeout_in_seconds] [-v]}

Parameters

Table E-50 crsctl query dns Command Parameters

Parameter	Description
-servers	Use the `-servers` parameter to list the current DNS configuration of the node on which you run the command. Typically, on Linux/UNIX, CRSCTL reads the `/etc/resolv.conf` file at start time and that is what the system configuration is until you restart or until the resolver is restarted. CRSCTL gets its information from resolver. You can use this parameter or, optionally, you can specify the other parameters in the command syntax string.
-name name	Specify the fully-qualified ___domain name you want to look up.
-dnsserver DNS_server_address	Specify the address of the DNS server on which you want the ___domain name to be looked up.
-port port	The port on which the DNS server listens. If you do not specify a port, then it defaults to port 53.
-attempts number_of_attempts	Specify the number of retry attempts.
-timeout timeout_in_seconds	Specify the timeout length in seconds.
-v	Verbose output.

Example

The crsctl query dns command returns output similar to the following for a DNS server named stmjk07-vip.stmjk0462.foo.com:

CRS-10024: DNS server returned 192.168.29.250 for name
stmjk07-vip.stmjk0462.foo.com

If you choose the -servers parameter, then the command returns output similar to the following:

CRS-10018: the following configuration was found on the system:
CRS-10019: There are 3 domains in search order. They are:
us.foo.com
foo.com
foocorp.com
CRS-10022: There are 3 name servers. They are:
192.168.249.41
192.168.249.52
192.168.202.15
CRS-10020: number of retry attempts for name lookup is: 2
CRS-10021: timeout for each name lookup is: 1
