Description
When adding MH (Managed Host) servers to VIOM (Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager) there may be situations where it is necessary to add them by hostname, rather than by IP address.
This can be done by using the Auto Configure (gendeploy.pl) script.
1. From the MS console, click Settings.
2. Click Auto Configure.
3. From the Auto Configure wizard, click Download to download the gendeploy.pl script.
4. From the VIOM Management Server (MS) use gendeploy.pl generate a new script.
Example:
7. Use the addcommh.pl script to add an MH system, by name.
Example:
The script that is generated by gendeploy.pl has the VIOM MS hostname embedded within it. This name is used to contact the MS during the managed host configuration. If the MS is not reachable from the MH by this default name, an alternate hostname, or IP address, can be specified using the --domain argument. This option is available only for MHs that are at version 4.0 RU1, or later. You can also use the --hostname argument to specify an alternate name for the MH.
This can be done by using the Auto Configure (gendeploy.pl) script.
1. From the MS console, click Settings.
2. Click Auto Configure.
3. From the Auto Configure wizard, click Download to download the gendeploy.pl script.
4. From the VIOM Management Server (MS) use gendeploy.pl generate a new script.
/opt/VRTSsfmh/bin/gendeploy.pl --out.pl
Example:
/opt/VRTSsfmh/bin/gendeploy.pl --out addvommh.pl
Note: The addvommh.pl file is just an arbitrary name that is used as an example.
5. Copy the new script to each of the MHs that you want to add to the domain. The script must be run separately, on each host. These hosts must have the VRTSsfmh package installed before you run the script.
6. Use chmod to make the script executable.

chmod +x addvommh.pl

./addvommh.pl --hostname

./addvommh.pl --hostname Server101
