Hi Sheng, Thank you very much for the information. After debugging, I also figured out that addDhcpEntry() method in VR takes care of adding the hostname-IP mapping.
So, when I used the same implementation in NuageVspElement, hostname-Ip mapping was getting set on VR. And after setting VR as the DNS server in VM, guest VMs got its hostname set properly. Looks like guest VM uses DNS reserve lookup to get the hostname. Please correct me if I am wrong. Guest VM I am using is default 5.4 CentOS template. I will get back to you if I need some more clarifications. Thanks, Suresh On Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 11:44 PM, Sheng Yang <sh...@yasker.org> wrote: > Hi Suresh, > > You can check edithosts.sh in the VR.
