I found what to me seems to be a strange bug when deploying the Dell Equallogic Virtual Storage Manager (EQL VSM).
When chosing to deploy the OVA file you input what DNS servers to use in the VA.
When the deployment is finished and the VA starts it is unable to time sync to NTP servers using DNS names, however using IP addresses works.
Looking more closely at the VA I find that:
1.DNS servers are used correctly on the web page of the VA (in Configure VSM Properties)
2.A different DNS server set is used on the VA console (login on VA console with default login of root / eql)
The DNS servers the VA choses to use in the console starts on 10.127.x.x which is something we have never used anywhere or told the VA to use during deployment.
I have had Dell EQL support look at this but the only advice so far has been to redeploy the VSM which I have done 5 times now with the same results.
Since the console only has an auto-start menu for the root login I'm unable to exit that menu and edit linux dns settings in console directly which is a bit annoying, maybe there is a workaround for that?
Anyone else seen this problem?
VSM version = VSM-3.5.2.1.ova
