Requirements
Veritas provides the following DNS update script files in the %VCS_HOME%\bin\SQLServer directory:
The files consist of the following:
dnsupdate-online.pldnsupdate-offline.pldnsupdate-monitor.pldnsupdate-settings.txt
The scripts log to the engine log. The name of the first log file is engine_A.txt.
Note:
The scripts require the Dnscmd.exe command-line tool, which is installed as part of the DNS server tools on Windows Server systems.
Customize the settings file for your environment. You need two copies of the settings file, one for the primary site settings and another for the secondary site settings.
See Customizing the DNS update settings for the web servers.
Place the script files and the appropriately customized settings file for the site at a location where they are available from the cluster nodes. Since you specify the file names and locations as part of the service group process resource, you can choose the file names and locations. To avoid editing the service group again on the secondary site, you must use the same names and locations on both sites.
Warning:
Do not place the settings file on a replicated volume. Otherwise, the settings file of the active site overwrites settings file of the passive site during replication.
