2.
Edit the file. Guidelines for editing the file are as follows:
•
Each line of the file starts with an IP address. Following the IP address can be any number
of tabs or spaces. This is followed by a “#” character, zero or more tabs or spaces and the
name of the host for that IP address. The host name is not required for discovery. Its
purpose is to make the file more readable and is used by the OneCommand Manager
application to display the host name in the Remove Remote Hosts window when the host is
not discovered. However, the discovery server only needs the IP address to discover the
host.
•
Each line in the file can be up to 1023 characters, although this is longer than is needed for
a host IP address and host name. A line longer than this is truncated, possibly causing
discovery to not discover some of the hosts.
•
Blank lines are ignored.
3.
Save the file.
Copying the File
A hosts file on one host can be copied and used on another host. This is useful when there are multiple
hosts on the same network running the OneCommand Manager application. For example, once the
remote hosts are added to the hosts file on one host, you can copy it to other hosts so you do not need
to create another hosts file.
Note: Due to the line terminator differences between Windows and Solaris or Linux hosts,
the files cannot be shared between Windows hosts and Solaris or Linux hosts.
