Changes TCP/IP-based name service configuration on a host.
The chnamsv high-level command changes a TCP/IP-based name service configuration on a host. The command changes the /etc/resolv.conf file only. The command does not change the name server database.
If you change the name service configuration for a client, the chnamsv command calls the namerslv low-level command to change the resolv.conf configuration file appropriately.
You can use the Network application in Web-based System Manager (wsm) to change network characteristics. You could also use the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) smit namerslv fast path to run this command.
