Configure auto-generation of records in a DNS zone¶

After you create a DNS zone and a record for this zone as described in Create a DNS zone and record, you can configure auto-generation of records in the created DNS zone.

To configure auto-generation of records in the created DNS zone:

1. In your Git project repository, change the directory to classes/cluster/<cluster_name>/openstack/.

2. In init.yml, set the designate_domain_id parameter according to the created DNS zone. For example:

   designate_domain_id: ce9836a9-ba78-4960-9c89-6a4989a9e095
   

3. Refresh pillars on the Salt Minion nodes:

   salt '*' saltutil.pillar_refresh
   

4. Apply the Designate states:

   salt -C 'I@designate:server and *01*' state.sls designate.server
   salt -C 'I@designate:server' state.sls designate
   

5. Using the Nova CLI, boot the VM which you have created a DNS zone for.

6. Verify that the DNS record related to the VM was created by running the salt 'ctl01*' cmd.run "openstack recordset list [zone_id]" command. For example:

   salt 'ctl01*' cmd.run ". /root/keystonercv3; openstack recordset list \
   ce9836a9-ba78-4960-9c89-6a4989a9e095"
   

   Example of system response:

   ctl01.virtual-mcp-ocata-ovs.local:
