NAME
sge_h_aliases - Grid Engine host aliases file format
DESCRIPTION
All Grid Engine components use a hostname resolving service
provided by the communication library to identify hosts via
a unique hostname. The communication library itself refer-
ences standard UNIX directory services such as DNS, NIS and
/etc/hosts to resolve hostnames. In rare cases these stan-
dard services cannot be setup cleanly and Grid Engine com-
munication 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
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>/common/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 Grid Engine components using the hostname
aliasing service of the communication library.
