Updating Device Name Resolution

Update the device name resolution for an existing device.

Procedure

  1. In the devices table, select the device's check box.
  2. Under Update Device Name Resolution, from the DNS Resolving drop-down menu, select Enable.
  3. To update the device name resolution for all devices, select the Apply this update to all devices, not just to those on this page check box.
    Note: This overrides any option you have defined in the Administration > System Settings > General > DNS Resolve All Device Names radio button. This update occurs asynchronously and is the only way to immediately update a device name, through a reverse DNS refresh, without waiting for the daily update.
  4. To execute a full query for device name resolution when the Update Name Resolution is clicked, select the Full DNS query to all selected devices check box.
    Note: Any device names saved in the /etc/host file of the LogLogic LMI appliance override the device names on the DNS server.
  5. Click Update Name Resolution.
