The following host name will be automatically generated:
VXXXXXXXXXNNNN XXXXXXXXX: Nine arbitrary alphanumeric characters (part of the system ID) NNNN: A four-digit serial number starting from 0001
This behavior is the original (default) behavior.
This method directly sets the host name to the string that the user has set as the "server name" in the Manager View.
The characters that can be specified for the server name are subject to the following restrictions:
Maximum string length | 15 characters |
Characters that can be specified | Alphanumeric characters or hyphens ("-"). However, the string cannot consist of only numbers. |
A deployment error will occur if a string that does not match these restrictions is specified.
If "yes" has been specified for the "hostname-check" key, a deployment error will occur if you specify a server name that duplicates the name of a server that has already been deployed. (An error will also occur even if the server name duplicates the name of a server belonging to another organization.)
Note
Host names can be set up only when new systems are created.
The host name will not be changed even if the server name is changed by changing the configuration after deployment.
When the host name is to be used in the L-Server name as the method for setting resource name, do not specify names starting with "SUNW" for the names of Solaris Zones servers.
This method sets the host name to a string consisting of the string that the Template Manager has specified for the "hostname-header" key in the definition file, followed by a serial number with the number of digits specified by "hostname-digits".
The serial number starts from 1 and is left padded with zeros.
The serial number that will be set for the next server to be deployed can be checked using the command for displaying a list of serial numbers for host name settings (cfmg_listhostnamecounter).
Refer to "10.5 cfmg_listhostnamecounter (Display List of Serial Numbers for Host Name Settings)" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE" for details on this command.
Example
When "VM-" is specified for "hostname-header" and "7" is specified for "hostname-digits"
VM-0000001
A deployment error will occur if the serial number overflows.
Serial numbers are unique within the entire Admin Server, but are managed separately for each of the strings specified for "hostname-header".
If the serial number has overflowed, either reset the serial number using the command for resetting the serial number for host name settings (cfmg_resethostnamecounter) or change the value for "hostname-header" to enable systems to be deployed again.
Refer to "10.6 cfmg_resethostnamecounter (Reset Serial Numbers for Host Name Settings)" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE" for details
Note
When Solaris Zones are being used and when the host name is to be used in the L-Server name as the method for setting resource name, do not prefix starting with "SUNW" for the special string.
Specify the prefix using eight or fewer alphanumeric characters and hyphens. Prefixes consisting solely of numbers are not allowed.
This method sets the host name to a string consisting of the tenant name for the user that made the deployment request, followed by a serial number with the number of digits specified for "hostname-digits".
The serial number starts from 1 and is left padded with zeros.
The serial number that will be set for the next server to be deployed can be checked using the command for displaying a list of serial numbers for host name settings (cfmg_listhostnamecounter).
Refer to "10.5 cfmg_listhostnamecounter (Display List of Serial Numbers for Host Name Settings)" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE" for details on this command.
Note
When "DIV" is specified for the tenant name and "7" is specified for "hostname-digits"
DIV0000001
A deployment error will occur if the serial number overflows.
Serial numbers are managed separately for each organization ID.
If the serial number has overflowed, reset the serial number using the command for resetting the serial number for host name settings (cfmg_resethostnamecounter) to enable systems to be deployed again.
Refer to "10.6 cfmg_resethostnamecounter (Reset Serial Numbers for Host Name Settings)" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE" for details on this command.
Note
Specify the prefix using eight or fewer alphanumeric characters and hyphens. Prefixes consisting solely of numbers are not allowed.
The "tenant name + serial number" item is displayed in the "Setting method for host name" in the "Setup Wizard" only when "tenant name + serial number" is set here. "tenant name + serial number" is not displayed if another setting is set. Use this setting to change from another setting to "tenant name + serial number".
