No reverse lookup for Celerra CIFS server
Hi there,
We have several Celerra boxes with CIFS configured in an AD domain. Our CIFS servers are registered in DNS but they can only be found in forward lookups and not in reverse lookups.
Is this normal behaviour or do we have to add a PTR record by hand?
No Events found!

By default the Data Mover will not update the PTR record (it is usally not necessary to do so)
There is a param in order to enable PTR updates:
detailed_description
Allows users to enable dynamic updates to PTR records on the DNS server in networks that use static entries for reverse lookup zones in DNS. By default, PTR records are not dynamically updated on the DNS server. param dns updatePTRrecord=0, no updates (default) param dns updatePTRrecord=1, the DM updates the DNS reverse zones for the DM interfaces.

I believe the reason this is off by default is that some DNS servers wouldn’t allow us to update the pointer records and cause unnecessary error messages.

Does this modify change require a reboot? Or should we interpret immediate as no need for reboot? also, is this impacting to existing environment?
Thanks,
Pete

Changing the parameter does not require a reboot, it only requires restart of the DNS-service.
We use insecure DNS services, we issued the following series of commands to update de box:
server_2 : done
[nasadmin@ZMSSA81401 ~]$ server_dns server_2 -option start
server_2 : done
And the PTRrecord is entered into DNS.
