1. Add a DNS server role for a Windows server. The system automatically installs the Microsoft DNS server on the server and creates a zone that supports the AD domain on the DNS server. For example, if the AD domain name is TD.com, the system automatically creates a zone named TD.com.
2. Choose Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > DNS to start the DNS management page.
3. Right-click the domain controller name, for example, TD.com, and choose New Host from the shortcut menu. In the dialog box that is displayed, enter the name of the V3 storage to be associated and a logical IP address, as shown in the following figure.
4. Repeat step 3 to create multiple hosts that correspond to one logical IP address of the V3 storage service network port.
5. Right-click the DNS server name on the left (for example, Windows 2003-5) and choose Properties from the shortcut menu. In the dialog box that is displayed, choose Advanced > Enable Loop Properties, as shown in the following figure.
6. Run the ping command on the Linux and Windows hosts to test the IP address. On the Linux host, the IP address can be automatically looped within the range of associated hosts. However, the ping command on the Windows host is cached. Therefore, the same IP address is displayed for each test on a host. Run ipconfig/flushdns after each ping to implement automatic switchover.
