These two servers must be configured to use a DNS server.
For example, hawk1.
The RSS server name is derived from the primary server name by prefixing rss_ to it.
For example, rss_hawk1.
Update the /etc/services file (or its NIS equivalent) on the host for the primary server and on the host for the RSS server. Doing so contains the entries of both the primary and RSS servers.
PrimaryServerName_PrimaryServerHostName unique_informix_port/tcp
rss_PrimarySeverName_SecondaryServerHostName unique_informix_port/tcp
hawk1_sol1 8100/tcp
rss_hawk1_sol2 8101/tcp
For detailed steps, see Setting Up the Trusted Environment and The hosts.equiv file on the IBM® Informix® 11.50 information center.

This file is only present if you have configured Rational® Synergy using the ccm_install command.
Initially, this file on the RSS server host is empty. Update this file to contain the primary server entry.

hawk1_net ontlitcp sol1 hawk1_sol1
For example, /vol/shared/export_dir.
This directory must be accessible by both the primary and RSS servers, which is usually on the NFS mounted file system.
This directory must be owned by user informix and must belong to the group informix.
# cd /vol/shared
# mkdir export_dir
# chown informix:informix export_dir
# su informix
$ ccmsrv rss_export -t /vol/shared/export_dir -s hawk1
# su informix
$ ccmsrv rss_create -f /vol/shared/export_dir -p hawk1
