Dear All,
We are getting error while updating hostname and IP address through SAS Deployment Manger(Launch SDM on Unix via X server).
Unable to update with 'Perform DNS Lookup' it throws error. Can you please advice on this?
Can you help me to update hostname manually with grep command in unix. Is there any way we can scan only config file where hostname exit and replace it with new hostname and ignore all the logs.
You have the option during the SDM prompts to disable the lookup:
Thanks for the quick reply.
Acutally we are cloning the old server and creating the new server. We have copied all the config file from old server to new server and updating the hostname and IP address that's why we are using DNS lookup. Its throws error.
After run the Update Host Name References tool without DNS lookup, we can some files (.xml .properties) hostname not get updated. Can we update these files manually?
it depends on what the file is - certainly anything covered in the manual steps
Hello @David_paul ,
if you are in control of the inventory of hostnames and aliases (short and fqdns), and you can map the old to the new ones, as @dpage said, I would definitely disable the automatic DNS lookup.
I have done hundreds of migrations and I have to honestly say, the lookup bothers more than helps.
