Re: [nv-l] DNS Fully qualified names

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

Well, I'm not in front of a system right
now. Try that little pulldown where it says what to search by and see if
there is something else. It might be referred to as something other than
label. Also , I think the wildcarding can do a little more than just *.
 Set it to wildcard and try things like regular expressions to limit
your search . I'm thinking like  label\.*com$ to exclude the interfaces,
etc.

I understand the concept of this sincel the label does not necessarily
ahve to be unique, but the object sleection name does.  My Quesiton
I guess then would be can I search by label.  This is coming from
searching in the Web Console.  We want to search for a device and
we give it the label name in the search bar in the Web Console and it does
not return the device.  By adding a * to the end as a wildcard will
give any device with that begin label name.  Which could be many devices.
 We are unable to tell without going through the maps and finding
the actual object what its selection name is.  Is this just the way
it was designed, do we just need to keep using the wildcard (*) or is there
a way to search by label? 

Thank you

No. It will use the short name (up to the first dot) for the label, but
the Selection Name will be the resolved name, whatever that is. The way
to change this is to enter all names in /etc/hosts. You should not do this
if it is a very long list, as it becomes a performance problem as well
as an administrative burden.

Subject	[nv-l] DNS Fully qualified names

Is there anywhere in NV to tell it to not use the suffix for fully qualified
names.  We check our /etc/hosts file first for a device if it is not
there, then we say go check the DNS server.  When it finds it in the
DNS server it uses the fully qualified name.  Anyway to suppress the
domain suffix in NV?
