[one-users] DNS search domains and rc.local not being read in VMs

[Campbell, Bill]

There should be DNS scripts in the contextualization packages that provide some assignment of DNS. You should be able to slightly modify a script to pick up that variable you define, i.e. 

echo search $searchdomain >> /etc/resolv.conf 

And define the $searchdomain variable in your network template. 


Be advised, I only see this script on the Ubuntu context packages (not RHEL/Cent, but could be added either way)

Hello, 



I posted a few days ago about network configuration seemingly not being picked up properly – I think that was mainly due to my contextualisation packages being for the wrong version, and so the context CDROM device wasn’t being mounted. 



So now I have a separate,, but related issue. 



I need to be able to have DNS search domains in my /etc/resolv.conf. I tried to achieve this by adding a SEARCH attribute to the virtual network template, but it doesn’t seem to be picked up (looking in the context scripts, there’s nothing there to pick it up, so that’s kind of expected). I then tried to add it in /etc/rc.local, along with some lines to correctly set the hostname based on IP, but this doesn’t appear to be being picked up either. 



Could anyone tell me what might be going wrong here? Could it be the case that rc.local is not being run for some reason at boot? When I test the VM outside ONE, rc.local runs fine… 



Any help greatly appreciated. 



Thanks
