RFE 74: Storwize support for DNS names rather than IP addresses

There are a number of network services e.g NTP SNMP, SMTP and LDAP which have to be configured with IP addresses.
This is becoming an administrative overhead in large organisations where DNS is the source of the truth for all the other network services (NTP/LDAP and NTP)

This request is already raised on developerworks as 54481
