Troubleshooting
This section describes the analysis and correction of some specific error situations in
a SUSE® Linux Enterprise Point of Service system.
16.1 Server Infrastructure
The server setup and operating procedures for Novell Linux Point of Service servers
are easy in most circumstances. However, the distributed nature of the Novell Linux
Point of Service system might provide some challenges. The following section describes
frequently encountered difficulties with name resolution.
16.1.1 Name Resolution
Care must be taken to ensure that the system can resolve its own name to its IP address
on the branch network, especially when configuring the Branch Servers with
posInitBranchserver.sh
.
If the system has only one network interface, or if the eth0 interface is the branch network
interface, the correct resolution is done through the
/etc/hosts
file, where YaST
adds the correct entries. Otherwise, add the corresponding line to
/etc/hosts
man-
ually or make sure that DNS is able to resolve the hostname.
