Could not determine the Linux server´s fully qualified domain name

SIM 5.1 always can not recognize linux server's OS version or hostname etc on the Proliant servers.

I used "Configure or Repair Agent" to reconfigure SNMP with the string "Public" and result in the following messages.

Could some one help me please ?



Successfully ran Linux configuration commands
>Stopping snmpd: [ OK ]
>>>Starting snmpd: [ OK ]
>>Stopping hpsmhd:
>>Starting hpsmhd:
...hpsmhd: Could not determine the server´s fully qualified domain name, using 10.158.5.11 for ServerName

Have you installed Management agents?. If yes then Edit the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and there will be a loop back address next to rwcommunity and rocommunity, remove the address or change it to 0.0.0.0

If agents is not installed, the linux server will not be indetified correctly.

Hi
Thanks for your kindly reply
I remove the loop back setting 127.0.0.1
now, it can recognize the OS and HW, but still can not determine the host name.

And I found that when I restart the deamon "hpsmhd", it replys the following message

hpsmhd: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 10.158.5.1 for ServerName

What should I do ?
