Manually verify the syntax of DNS or DHCP configuration data prior to deployment to managed DNS/DHCP Servers. Validation runs separately from deployment.
You must set validation options either at the configuration level or server level before running the validation. If no validation options are set at either level, you will get an error.
To validate deployment data:
- Select the Servers tab in the sidebar, then select Servers.
- Select the checkbox for a DNS/DHCP Server.
- Select .
- Under Selected, verify the server that validation will be performed on.
- On the Services tab, select DNS, DHCPv4, and/or DHCPv6.
- On the Change control tab, add change control comments, if required.
- Select Validate.
Address Manager performs validation for the selected services. Navigate to
the Deployments tab of the server to view the status of the
validation deployment.
- If validation is successful, you can continue with deployment.
- If validation fails, check the log files for details. For information on viewing the DNS validation, zone validation, and DHCP validation server logs, refer to Viewing DNS/DHCP Server logs.
