Requirements for hosts with multiple network interfaces
Hosts that have multiple network interfaces require additional configuration to work with DevOps Code ClearCase®.
If any DevOps Code ClearCase host
(client or server) has two or more network interfaces, you must create a file
on that host which lists each of its host names. After you create or modify
this file, you must stop and restart DevOps Code ClearCase so
that the changes take effect.
- On Linux and the UNIX system, the file is /var/adm/devops/clearcase/config/alternate_hostnames.
- On Windows®, the file is ccase-home-dir\var\config\alternate_hostnames.
For example, suppose that the NIS hosts database includes these entries for a host that runs
Linux or the UNIX system:
159.0.10.16 widget river-005 wid
159.0.16.103 widget-gte river-105In this case, the file alternate_hostnames on
this host must contain these entries:
widget
widget-gteNote that only the first host name in each hosts entry must be included in the file. The file must list each host name on a separate line. (You cannot include comments; all lines are significant.) If a host does not have multiple network interfaces, this file must not exist on that host.
