Configuring Domain name to work

[Jai Harikrishnan]

Hi All,

We have a new HP-UX 11i install and very few settings have been configured.

Have set the domain name by
#domainname aaa.bbb.com
Verifed the hostname setting by issuing the command, and is set properly
#hostname

When I am installing Oracle, the oracle installer tries to ping
myhostname.aa.bbb.com and I am getting the error message as
Error hostdomain ping has returned 1.

Please help.

Thanks in advance

does your host file contains the fully qualififed host name.

Check this.

Hi,

You don't need to setup domainname by using domainname command. Make sure that you are having fully qualified system name. Your /etc/hosts file should have those entry.



eg:

10.63.12.34 sysname.domain.com sysname

Your host name is not permanent when you setup the hostname by using hostname . Put the hostname entry in /etc/hosts
and /etc/rc.config.d/netconf to setup the hostname permanently
