Update: HP Flex-10 DNS issue causing network outages
March 8th, 2011
HP has released an updated advisory for their serious DNS issue as described in my previous post.
There’s now a lot more information on the problem and three scenarios described depending on how you handle IP addressing for your environment and the steps on how to fix it.
I’ve heard HP is seeing this as a global problem affecting many clients so make sure you are protected.
One thing to watch out for. Before you disable DNS make sure your Directory Server Address under Domain Settings/Directory Server Settings in Virtual Connect is pointing to an IP address and not a dns name. Otherwise you won’t be able to log in using LDAP.
