1.3.3.2 PCoIP Management Console DNS-Based Discovery Prefix
Each PCoIP device reads the PCoIP MC DNS-Based Discovery Prefix setting when it
boots. If this setting is non-blank then the device attempts to contact the MC by
combining the string stored in this setting with variations of the domain name hierarchy.
System Requirements
The system requirements for MC DNS-Based Discovery are as follows:
•
The PCoIP devices and MC must be located within the same domain name
hierarchy tree (e.g. if a PCoIP device is located in the domain
sales.europe.companyname.com, then the MC’s domain name can be any one
of: sales.europe.companyname.com, europe.companyname.com, or
companyname.com)
•
The PCoIP devices must enable DHCP in order to get the domain name and
hostname (to get DHCP options 15 and 12 respectively)
•
The DHCP server must support either DHCP options 12 (hostname), 15 (domain
name), or both. Refer to RFC2132. If the DHCP server only supports DHCP
options 12, the hostname string must contain the domain name.
•
All PCoIP devices managed by a specific MC must have the
PCoIP MC DNS-
Based Discovery Prefix
setting equal to the MC’s hostname prefix (e.g. if the
MC’s FQDN is pcoip_mc1.europe.companyname.com, then the field must equal
pcoip_mc1).
