NAME

6       host_aliases - Grid Engine host aliases file format
7

DESCRIPTION

9       All Grid Engine components use a hostname resolving service provided by
10       the communication library to identify hosts via a unique hostname.  The
11       communication  library  itself  references standard UNIX directory ser‐
12       vices such as DNS, NIS and /etc/hosts to resolve  hostnames.   In  rare
13       cases  these  standard services cannot be setup cleanly and Grid Engine
14       communication daemons running on different hosts are unable to automat‐
15       ically  determine  a  unique hostname for one or all hosts which can be
16       used on all hosts. In such situations a Grid Engine host  aliases  file
17       can  be  used  to  provide the communication daemons with a private and
18       consistent hostname resolution database.
19
20       The  location  for  the  host  aliases  file  is  <ge_root>/<cell>/com‐
21       mon/host_aliases.
22

FORMAT

24       For  each  host  a  single line must be provided with a blank, comma or
25       semicolon separated list  of  hostname  aliases.  The  first  alias  is
26       defined to be the unique hostname which will be used by all Grid Engine
27       components using the hostname aliasing  service  of  the  communication
28       library.
