vcenter guest: global DNS settings

The global_DNS_settings structure specifies a collection of global IP settings in the guest operating system. In Linux, DNS server settings are global. The settings can either be statically set or supplied by a DHCP server. This structure was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.

Representation:

{
    "dns_suffix_list" : [
        "string",
        "string"
    ],
    "dns_servers" : [
        "string",
        "string"
    ]
}

Attributes:

Name Type Description
Optional
dns_suffix_list string[] List of name resolution suffixes for the virtual network adapter. This list applies to both Windows and Linux guest customization. For Linux, this setting is global, whereas in Windows, this setting is listed on a per-adapter basis. This attribute was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.

Optional. If unset, no DNS suffixes are set.
dns_servers string[] List of DNS servers, for a virtual network adapter with a static IP address. If this list is empty, then the guest operating system is expected to use a DHCP server to get its DNS server settings. These settings configure the virtual machine to use the specified DNS servers. These DNS server settings are listed in the order of preference. This attribute was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.

Optional. If unset, no DNS servers are set.
