Hi Luis,

xCAT can set site.dnshandler to ddns automatically for two scenarios:
1. Fresh install for xCAT 2.6
2. Update install for xCAT 2.6 from a existing lower level xCAT version.

Is your install the #1 or #2? or could you tell me how you installed xcat 
2.6? I will see if it's a bug.

For your question "Unable to find zone" after manually setting 
site.dnshandler=ddns, I recommend you to use "makedns -n" first to fresh 
the named configuration, and please check "tabdump networks" to see if you 
have a corresponding net defined for your blade02, makedns in xcat 2.6 can 
only handle the hosts that belongs to the nets defined in xcat db, please 
see makedns manpage for details:

Only entries in
       /etc/hosts or the hosts specified by noderange that are part of a 
network listed in the networks table will
       be added to DNS.




Best Regards,

Re: [xcat-user] How to setup dns and cloning in xCAT 2.6?






Oh k, i found out that i need to define a "dnshandler" as "ddns" in
the site table!

But i'm now running into this problem:
[root@xcat xcat_tables]# makedns blade02
blade02: Error: Unable to find zone to hold blade02
blade02: Error: Unable to find reverse zone to hold blade02
[root@xcat xcat_tables]#

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Luis
