Old DHCP-DNS-DDNS and TSIG Configuration

Good day,

I hope that everyone is enjoying the holidays to this point, sadly mine has been hectic and stress filled as my primary server crashed hard a few days back.

I’m trying to locate the “DHCP-DNS-DDNS and TSIG Configuration OES-11-SLES1”1 document that I used to configure DHCP and DNS on my servers, but sadly since my network crashed, I lost access to that document, and the link shows as not found 404. This was written by an engineer and referenced Novell greatly, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know where I can find that document or have instructions that I can use to get my DHCP/DNS working again on OES 24.4

At this stage I would even be happy if I could get a basic DHCP/DNS configuration working, but sadly I have been relying on that document for so long, that now I'm pretty much lost without it. If anyone has some straight forward directions I could view, to get my DHCP/DNS working I would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you,

-DS

    I would assume you've been going over the docs as they will certainly have at least some clues.

    there is at least one old forum post that may help some as well

    Which version are you actually running?

    at the moment, knee-deep in a bunch of OES upgrades (easy) and slogging through the ZCM docs that so assume large systems, not just single appliance, but will try to put on my DNS-DHCP config hat tomorrow once these are clear.

    Good morning, 

    Yes I was able to use the support documentation, and that helped a great deal, as well as some old training documentation that I found for OES 11, basically just followed the "Basic DHCP-DNS" Configuration and now things are working. 

    Came across 2 issues:

    1.) During the installation, I must have missed the adapter section as when I looked at the configuration file, "/etc/sysconfig/dhcpd (file)", I saw that no adapters were configured to listen, so the DHCP server would fail to start. (Fixed)

    2.) Was unable to view the leases from the DHCPDNS Management console, "omapi-key error" at this point I can view those leases from the log file, so not a showstopper. I know that this has to be configured in a certain manner, and just figured again not a showstopper tackle the next item. 

    The best news of all though was this morning as I dug through more of my backup drives I found the configuration document that I have been using for a number of years, for some reason the files had a different extension (instead of pdf) so I must have overlooked them (as I've been doing a lot since this whole thing began) That said I now have the documentation and will reconfigure once things get back into a more orderly pattern. 

    Thank you for answering and do have a nice rest of your weekend ahead.

    Hi, Friend

    Have you considered this document? Maybe it will help you. In my opinion, it was one of the best guides I have ever seen. It still helps me today.

    Sorry, here is the link to https/EN.

    Good day, 

    Not sure what that link opens too? It appears to be in Russian, nothing seems to download.

    Czech is close enough if you don't have any familiarity with any Slavic languages. 

    Given not knowing the poster (as been on here for a while with very few posts. a lurker?), and what is clearly a file sharing location, I did some checking.   Like just about any/every file sharing site, it is known to have hosted bad content before, but everything else checked out about it. It is a straight forward text only PDF that passes my tests including checking VirusTotal site.

    It looks very much like the document you were looking for. And is very much a part of my stash now.
