I am not really sure for your requirement. But add an alias in the /etc/hosts for an entry will generate a CNAME record.
Thanks

Subject: [xcat-user] Adding cname records in xCAT's DNS
Date: Mon, Jul 4, 2016 11:47 PM
Currently we run various things like ganglia, puppet and nagios on our
management server. We'd like to slowly start moving them off -
potentially to different servers.
Is it possible in xCAT to add a CNAME record to the dns - so that we can
switch the service just by switching the DNS record and not having to
move config encoded in our puppet setup.
I can't see how to do this in
http://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/admin-guides/basic_concepts/network_planning/xcat_net_planning.html
or
http://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced/networks/index.html
I guess I could add an additional host (and therefore an A record),
which would have a similar effect - though reverse DNS won't work. I'm
slightly concerned it might have other consequences.
Comments?
Chris
