DESCRIPTION
All Univa Grid Engine components use a hostname resolving service pro-
vided by the communication library to identify hosts via a unique host-
name. The communication library itself references standard UNIX direc-
tory services such as DNS, NIS and /etc/hosts to resolve hostnames. In
rare cases these standard services cannot be setup cleanly and Univa
Grid Engine communication daemons running on different hosts are unable
to automatically determine a unique hostname for one or all hosts which
can be used on all hosts. In such situations a Univa Grid Engine host
aliases file can be used to provide the communication daemons with a
private and consistent hostname resolution database.
The location for the host aliases file is <sge_root>/<cell>/com-
mon/host_aliases.
FORMAT
For each host a single line must be provided with a blank, comma or
semicolon separated list of hostname aliases. The first alias is
defined to be the unique hostname which will be used by all Univa Grid
Engine components using the hostname aliasing service of the communica-
tion library.
