VCSA 6.7 and DNS registration

[alpatio]

HI,

We have just migrated from a Windows VCenter to a VCSA 6.7 (update 2), OLD VCenter was integrated with the ADirectory and We were able to join without troubles. Migration ended succesfully.

Our question is for the new configuration, new VCSA keeps old network settings, including DNS client settings, but old Windows VCenter record were dynamically registred on the AD DNS servers.

The new VCSA will continue be registered dynamically on the DNS record ? or should we create static entries for it in DNS ?

Best Regards

Just create a static A/AAAA record for the VCSA inside the DNS server that vCenter server will interact with it.

However, I always prefer to register static records for the VI primary components (ESXi hosts, vCenter, and ...) and do not join them to the Directory Service like AD.
