Manually Editing DCM Controller Files

Manual Initialization

2.Using vi or another Linux text editor, edit the /etc/hosts file so that it contains the DCM Controller’s IP address, a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), and host name.

a.Enter:

vi /etc/hosts

b.Locate the last two lines that show the IP address and FQDN.

127.0.0.1localhost.localdomain localhost

192.168.0.2 localhost.localdomain localhost

c.Press i to enter insert mode.

d.Use the backspace key to delete the default values and edit the lines as follows:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

<IP address> <FQDN> <host name>

In the second line, replace <IP address> with the IP address you assigned the DCM Controller. Replace <FQDN> with the DCM Con- troller’s FQDN. (The FQDN should include the host name and the domain name.) Replace <host name> with the host name you want to assign the DCM Controller.

The following is an example configuration:

127.0.0.1localhost.localdomain localhost

192.168.115.21 myDCM.hp.com myDCM

e.Press the Esc key to exit insert mode and return to command mode.

f.Enter the following to save your changes and exit the file:

:wq

A message is displayed, reporting that the file was “written,” which means your changes were saved to the file.

3.Using vi or another text editor, edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file so the HOSTNAME line includes the DCM Controller’s FQDN.

a.Enter:

vi /etc/sysconfig/network

b.Locate the hostname line.
