address, right? )
Thanks,

can u able to get rid of 2 external namservers? if not, put your local name

check your /etc/resolv.conf, you can get rid of 169 ip address and use head's
ip address, then run makedns again.

________________________________
CentOS 8
xCat 2.16
When running makedns there is an entry created for an entry that is not in my
/etc/hosts. The effect of this is that the head node has 2 entries in the local
DNS cache. One for its private IP address (in /etc/hosts) and one for the other
address which is not reachable by the compute nodes. The other IP address is
just used by the HW management utilities for internal communications and is a
169.x.x.x address. How can I tell xCat/makedns to not create this entry?
