Reconfigure DNS and Domain Search on the Clustered Workspace ONE Access Nodes for Site Protection and Disaster Recovery for VMware Cloud Foundation

To use name translation and resolution from each region, you reconfigure the DNS server and domain search parameter for all three clustered Workspace ONE Access nodes. To persist the change after a reboot, you apply the change when the virtual machine is in a powered off state, using OVF properties.

Procedure

1. Power down the clustered Workspace ONE Access virtual machines by using VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.

   1. Log in to VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle at https://<aria_suite_lifecycle_fqdn> as vcfadmin@local.

2. Log in to the management domain vCenter Server at https://<protected_vcenter_server_fqdn>/ui in the protected VMware Cloud Foundation instance as [email protected].

3. In the VMs and templates inventory, navigate to the clustered Workspace ONE Access virtual machine folder.

4. Select the first virtual machine of the clustered Workspace ONE Access.

5. Click the Configure tab.

6. In the left pane, navigate to Settings > vApp options.

7. Configure the OVF properties for the virtual machine according to your VMware Cloud Foundation Planning and Preparation Workbook.

   1. In the Properties section, select vami.DNS.IdentityManager, and click Set Value.
