When you configure host name using the
exalytics_configure_network.sh
script, the
following files are updated:
/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/hosts
Note:
The script keeps a copy of the interface files in the
/tmp/exalytics.save/
directory and creates a flat backup for the files that may be modified.
4.7.1.5 Time
The
exalytics_configure_network.sh
script optionally configures the time zone using
the
tzselect
script. This script guides you to select a continent, country, and city using
numbered menu selection. The script verifies whether a network time server should be
configured. If you choose to configure a server, the script prompts you to enter the
server name and other required information.
If you do not opt for time server configuration, the script prompts you to set time and
date.
For network time server configuration, the script modifies the
/etc/ntp.conf
file, and it
starts the
ntpd
daemon and adds it to start at boot.
For time zone selection, the script creates a new soft link to
/etc/localtime
.
Note:
The script keeps a copy of the interface files in the
/tmp/exalytics.save/
directory and creates a flat backup for the files that may be modified.
4.7.1.6 Domain Name Server (DNS)
The
exalytics_configure_network.sh
script optionally configures one or more domain
name servers that you specify.
When you configure domain name servers using the
exalytics_configure_network.sh
script, the following file is updated:
/etc/resolv.conf
Note:
The script keeps a copy of the interface files in the
/tmp/exalytics.save/
directory and creates a flat backup for the files that may be modified.
