Optional DNS and NTP has been released.  The latest VNXe OS which contains this functionality can be downloaded from VNXe Support Site
I am new  to VNXe and have some simple questions.. I am integrating this for iSCSI access for Solaris hosts.  1. Why is it mandatory to have a DNS server for VNXe to get initialized and configured? 2. I have been told that even for iSCSI access and no NAS shares, DNS is mandatory and if DNS server goes down, the storage will not be available for iSCSI access also. Is this true? And if yes, why is this configured like this?  If a customer does not have DNS or DNS is down, the other hosts that have been configured for this storage access on iSCSI only would not be able to access the storage.  Anyone having any clue to this behavior and a workaround for this, please suggest.
