This article will suggest a way of validating if the Virtual Host Name (VHN) used for the Orion HA pool exists within a specified DNS domain. Be aware that while creating the pool and configuring VHN it may take some time for DNS to update or create the relevant record and propagate across the network.

Orion Platform

On the Web Console, go to Settings > My Orion Deployment. Select the pool, and on the right-hand side, click on the COMMANDS drop-down and select Edit Pool. Take note of the Virtual Host Name.
 
Connect remotely (RDP™) to the DNS server configured under the HA pool settings and run the below PowerShell™ command (you can omit comments marked with #):

Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName "ZONE" -Name "VHN"

NOTE:

• replace ZONE with your DNS domain name
• replace VHN with the HA Virtual Host Name
