The host name specified in the pdunit operand must be registered, together with the IP address, in the host's file at every client machine that accesses the HiRDB server. Use of DNS eliminates the need for registration in the hosts file, thereby eliminating the need for modifying the hosts file that is associated with registration and IP address changes.
Connection with a HiRDB server running on a host in a domain can be established by specifying the server machine's fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in PDHOST and PDFESHOST.
The following table lists names that can be specified in client environment definition.
Table 23-1 Names allowed in client environment definition
Name specified in client environment definition | Version 05-02 or earlier | Version 05-03 or later |
---|---|---|
Host name | S | S |
FQDN | -- | S# |
The following figure shows an example of a network configuration and definition for connecting to a HiRDB system with an FQDN specified.
