Sun Cluster 3.1 Software Installation Guide

Private Hostnames

Add this planning information to the “Cluster and Node Names Worksheet” in Sun Cluster 3.1 Release Notes.

The private hostname is the name used for inter–node communication over the private network interface. Private hostnames are automatically created during Sun Cluster installation, and follow the naming convention clusternodenodeid-priv, where nodeid is the numeral of the internal node ID. During Sun Cluster installation, this node ID number is automatically assigned to each node when it becomes a cluster member. After installation, you can rename private hostnames by using the scsetup(1M) utility.
