Re: hostname = server name
Yes, the hostname is the same thing as the server name. To my knowledge, there are two ways to name a unix machine, the UUCP hostname ( uname -n ) and the internet hostname ( hostname ). The startup script /sbin/init.d/hostname use the same HOSTNAME variable as an argument to both, uname -s and hostname, so they are the same name, which to my knowledge is strongly suggested by HP.

Re: hostname = server name
" ... and does the MP hostname have to correspond with the netwrok hostname???"
No to my knowledge.

SolutionIt may be helpful to give the MP a related name (e.g. servers name is "serv1", MPs name is "serv1mp").
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: hostname = server name
OS hostname and MP hostname has no relation and can be set seperately. For sure the naming convention should be such that you do not get confused with the names and are able to uniquly identify one particular server.
This MP hostname is also equally important as the hostname to idetiy a server among others before performing admin tasks on it.
