I am not strong on IP and server stuff, so I have a question I hope someone can answer
We had two things go on tonight. One was a cpu upgrade from z890 to z10. No big deal. However, during this time we also had a six hour internet outage. Some upgrade that required a larger outage than normal. Now I do not run a DNS server on my mainframe, they are out on the servers. During this time frame I EKM was unavailable, I think due to the server (internet) outage. Am I correct in thinking that since EKM uses a DNS name and the DNS names are on the servers, this outage affected EKM. If I had a DNS running on the mainframe, this would not have been an issue. I am just trying to find a way to resolve this issue. Now that we encrypt tapes, it is not good for EKM to be down.
