Prepare to Start DNS
Check Assumptions Before Starting DNS
Before starting DNS, ensure that these assumptions are met:
•
The Open System Services (OSS) operating system is available. Refer to the
Open System Services Installation Guide in NTL for installation procedures, and
the Open System Services Management and Operations Guide in NTL for
operating procedures.
•
Nonsecure DNS or secure DNS is installed. To check that DNS is installed,
perform the following steps:
1. For nonsecure DNS, change the directory to /etc/dns923/ in the OSS shell:
$ cd /etc/dns923/
2. For secure DNS, change the directory to /etc/dns_secure/ in the OSS
shell:
>cd /etc/dns_secure/
Note. In this manual, the dollar sign ($) denotes the OSS shell prompt.
