If you defined any additional host names, work with your
TCP/IP administrator to ensure that the new host names are added to
your Domain Name Server (DNS).
About this task
If you have configured TCP/IP to search
the DNS before searching the host table, you may need to make additional
changes in your configuration. Follow these steps to check your TCP/IP
Configuration Properties:
Procedure
- From any IBM® i command
line, type the following command and press Enter:
- On the Configure TCP/IP display, type 12 and press Enter to
change the TCP/IP domain information.
- On the Change TCP/IP Domain (CHGTCPDMN) display, look for
the "Host name search priority" setting.
If the value is *REMOTE, either change this value
to *LOCAL or verify with your network administrator that the fully
qualified host name is the first value listed in the DNS for the IP
address associated with your Sametime® server. The fully
qualified host name must be listed before any short names in order
for your Sametime server
to function correctly.
If the value of this
field is *LOCAL, you do not need to take any further action. You already
ensured that the fully qualified host name was listed first in your
local host table in an earlier step.
CAUTION: If you change the "Search order" you must stop and
restart TCP/IP for the change to take effect.
- If your Sametime deployment
will support IPv6 addressing, make sure that the IPv6 address is mapped
to the server's host name. If you will support both IPv4 and
IPv6 addressing, then each format should be mapped to the host name
to ensure that connections of both types are enabled.
- Press F3 to exit.
