11.4  Implementing Transparent Cloud Tiering
This section describes the steps and requirements to implement Transparent Cloud Tiering 
using your IBM Spectrum Virtualize.
11.4.1  DNS Configuration
Because most of IBM Cloud Object Storage is managed and accessible by using the HTTP 
protocol, the Domain Name System (DNS) setting is an important requirement to ensure 
consistent resolution of domain names to internet resources.
Using your IBM Spectrum Virtualize management GUI, click Settings → System → DNS and 
insert your DNS IPv4 or IPv6. The DNS name can be anything that you want, and is used as 
a reference. Click Save after you complete the choices, as shown in Figure 11-64.
