Decommission Scripts

Requirements and Restrictions

Requirements

After the server becomes operational, you have to configure “Port Forwarding Rules” so that you can access from outside of the cloud via SSH.

Restrictions

  1. Internal dynamic DNS service included in this ServerTemplate is only able to resolve “cloud.local” domain.
  2. You have to change /etc/resolv.conf of all instances which use internal dynamic DNS by executing the RightScript DNS Set Resolv.conf for IDC Frontier.
  3. DNS records are erased when you relaunch the server. So you have to re-register DNS records of all instances by executing the RightScripts DNS External id register - 11H1 or DNS ID register Public/Private IP.

Common Runbook Operations

 This runbook is not meant to provide detailed information about the usage of this ServerTemplate. Further information can be found in the 3 Tier Setup with IDC Frontier.
