NAME¶
host_aliases - Sun Grid Engine host aliases file format
DESCRIPTION¶
All Sun Grid Engine components use a hostname resolving service provided by the
communication library to identify hosts via a unique hostname. The
communication library itself references standard UNIX directory services such
as DNS, NIS and /etc/hosts to resolve hostnames. In rare cases these standard
services cannot be setup cleanly and Sun Grid Engine communication daemons
running on different hosts are unable to automatically determine a unique
hostname for one or all hosts which can be used on all hosts. In such
situations a Sun Grid Engine host aliases file can be used to provide the
communication daemons with a private and consistent hostname resolution
database.
The location for the host aliases file is
<sge_root>/<cell>/common/host_aliases.
For each host a single line must be provided with a blank, comma or semicolon
separated list of hostname aliases. The first alias is defined to be the
unique hostname which will be used by all Sun Grid Engine components
using the hostname aliasing service of the communication library.
