Start or stop Domain Name System servers

You can change the settings if the Domain Name System (DNS) interface does not allow you to start or stop multiple server instances at once.

You can use the character-based interface to change these settings for multiple instances at once. To use the character-based interface to start all DNS server instances at once, type STRTCPSVR SERVER(*DNS) DNSSVR(*ALL) at the command line. To stop all DNS servers at once, type ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*DNS) DNSSVR(*ALL) at the command line.
