To Update the /etc/hosts file

Steps

1. Log in as root to the Sun N1 System Manager management server.

2. Verify that the /etc/hosts file has entries for loopback and the management server.

   1. Make certain that either of the following loopback entries is in the /etc/hosts file.

      127.0.0.1    localhost

      or

      127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain    localhost

   2. Make certain that an entry exists for the management server and its IP address. For example:

      111.11.111.11 n1mgmt.domain n1mgmt.domain

      where 111.11.111.11 is the IP address of the management server, and n1mgmt is the name of the management server and domain is your company domain name.

      Your /etc/hosts should be similar to the following example:

      127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain    localhost
      10.5.157.123 n1mgmt.company.com
      

   3. Save and close /etc/hosts.

3. Reboot the N1 System Manager management server.
