To Update the /etc/hosts File

Steps

1. Log in as root on the management server.

2. Edit /etc/hosts and ensure that the entries are similar to the following example:

   # Do not remove the following line, or various programs
   # that require network functionality will fail.
   127.0.0.1           localhost
   111.222.333.44     machine-name loghost

   where 111.222.333.44 is the IP address of the N1 System Manager server, and machine-name is the name of the N1 System Manager management server.

   For example, if the machine name is n1manager, and the assigned IP address for eth0 is 129.123.111.12, then the /etc/hosts file should contain the following settings:

   # Do not remove the following line, or various programs
   # that require network functionality will fail.
   127.0.0.1          localhost.localdomain localhost
   129.123.111.12     n1manager loghost

   You must reboot the system after updating the /etc/hosts file.
