hostname gets truncated
When we install SAP on our rx7640 with HP-UX 11.23, the hostname gets truncated. This posted a problem when we were installing SAP as this gave out the following error:
unknown SAPSYSTEMNAME
Also, we encountered the same error but instead of the hostname being truncated from the last characters, it was truncated from the middle characters of the hostname. Hope you can help.
Thanks,
ROMMEL

Re: hostname gets truncated
Please make sure that you get only one response of:
grep ^HOSTNAME /etc/rc.config.d/*
If you get more than one reaction please remove the "copyed" files from this dir.
The other problem that can be the reason is that some sap versions does not suport more that 8 caracters of a system name.... so you have to reduce the number of caracters to a max of 8
Kind regards,
Freek Verschuren

Re: hostname gets truncated
Try setting hostname with following command
# hostname <8_char_hostname>
If this works, then like to know if after the reboot the hostname gets changed. If yes, then probably you might be having the backup of netconf in /etc/rc.config.d/ which needs to be moved.

Re: hostname gets truncated
output of hostname is SAPHRHPAPP01.
We are installing SAP ECC 6.0 SR1. Does this version support hostnames longer than 8 characters? Is it possible that the SAP installer truncates the hostname?
Please help.
Regards,
ROMMEL

Re: hostname gets truncated
This is one more reason you shouldn't have more than 8, as I mentioned in your previous thread:
