Verifying name or address resolution

Machines running Rational® Synergy daemons (router, object registrar, and engine startup daemon) must be reachable by all other Rational Synergy processes. Machines running database servers must be reachable from Rational Synergy engine processes. Machines running engines, routers, object registrars, and ESDs must be reachable from Rational Synergy interface processes.

About this task

For machine A to be reachable from machine B:

OR

Procedure

To allow machines to be reachable through consistent names:

  1. Verify that each machine that is used for daemons, database servers, and engines has a single, unique name recognized throughout your network. Also, ensure that either a simple or fully qualified name is used consistently.

    If the database server machines do not have recognized names, set the servers names to their IP addresses to make them recognizable, provided this IP address is reachable throughout your network.

    Use the ccmdb info command to set a server name (HOSTNAME) to its IP address, for a specific database. Use the following syntax:

    $ ccmdb info -k hostname -v IP_address database_path

  2. Verify that the Informix® sqlhosts file consistently uses the same host name.

    For example, verify that the server named horse has host name horse.vod.com and service name horse_horse.vod.com.

    $ cd $CCM_HOME/informix/etc
    $ vi sqlhosts
    horse   onsoctcp   horse.vod.com   horse_horse.vod.com
