Note: Refer to Microsoft's DNS Resource Record Management for the specific steps in creating a DNS server. 2. Navigate to Server Manager > Tools > DNS and configure the following: DNS parameters Parameter Forward Lookup Zone Reverse Lookup Zones Host A record for sczone1 Host A record for sczone2 Delegation zone for sczone1 Delegation zone for sczone2 Value dell.local 172.16.1, 172.16.2 sczonea, 172.16.1.249 sczoneb, 172.16.2.249 sczone1.dell.local, 172.16.1.249 sczone2.dell.local, 172.16.2.249 9.5 It is important that the DNS Host A record have a unique name that does not match the name that was assigned to the SmartConnect zone within the OneFS file system. The Delegation zone, however, needs to have a name that matches the SmartConnect zone. This will ensure that a connection to sczone1.dell.local will reference the SmartConnect Zone 1 IP of 172.16.1.249. When this IP is referenced, it will round robin through each node IP, assigning the workload to each node in turn, ensuring a balanced workload. Validation At this point in the configuration, the file system and the network can be validated. This can be accomplished by selecting a server on one leaf pair and connecting to the file system assigned to the opposite subnet. 74 Dell EMC Networking with Isilon Front-End Deployment and Best Practices Guide | version 1.0

for the specific steps in creating a DNS
server.
2. Navigate to
Server Manager > Tools > DNS
and configure the following:
DNS parameters
Parameter

Forward Lookup Zone
dell.local
Reverse Lookup Zones
172.16.1, 172.16.2
Host A record for sczone1
sczonea, 172.16.1.249
Host A record for sczone2
sczoneb, 172.16.2.249
Delegation zone for sczone1
sczone1.dell.local, 172.16.1.249
Delegation zone for sczone2
sczone2.dell.local, 172.16.2.249
It is important that the DNS Host A record have a unique name that does not match the name that was
assigned to the SmartConnect zone within the OneFS file system.
The Delegation zone, however, needs to
have a name that matches the SmartConnect zone.
This will ensure that a connection to sczone1.dell.local
will reference the SmartConnect Zone 1 IP of 172.16.1.249.
When this IP is referenced, it will round robin
through each node IP, assigning the workload to each node in turn, ensuring a balanced workload.
