Configuring host names

You must ensure that your computer host name is configured correctly before you run the Deployment Engine.

About this task

To configure the host name:

Procedure

On Windows operating systems:
1. Right-click My Computer.
2. Choose Properties > Computer Name and then click Change.
  The Computer Name Changes dialog box opens.
3. In the Computer Name field, enter the new host name of the Domain Controller and then click OK.
4. Restart the computer.
On UNIX and Linux operating systems, ensure that the following IP address to host name mapping appears in the /etc/hosts file:
Table 1. Example IP address to host name mapping
IP address host name short host name

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

ip_address hostname short hostname

Where ip_address is the IP address of the computer, hostname is the host name of the computer, and short hostname is an alias for the computer.

Table 1. Example IP address to host name mapping
IP address	host name	short host name
`127.0.0.1`	localhost.localdomain	localhost
`ip_address`	`hostname`	`short hostname`

What to do next

Note: If you change the host name or IP address of a computer on which an ObjectServer is already installed, you must also reconfigure the Deployment Engine on that computer.
