Hello experts,
One one of our LINUX based SAP system,niping -v -H <hostname> gives an error.
see below:
>niping -v -H SISSAPCP1
Hostname/Nodeaddr verification:
====
Hostname of local computer: qfapp128v (NiMyHostName)
Lookup of hostname: qfapp128v (NiHostToAddr)
--> IP-Addr.: 11.81.0.20

(rc=-2)
-------------------------------------------------
In our set up we have physical host name:
qfapp128v
IP-Addr.: 11.81.0.20
And Virtual hostname:
SISSAPCP1
IP-Addr.: 11.81.0.27
> nslookup ABC
Server: a.b.c.d
Address: a.b.c.d#53
Name: ABC.domain name
Address: l.m.n.o
7> nslookup XYZ
Server: a.b.c.d
Address: a.b.c.d#53
Name: XYZ.domain name
Address: e.f.g.h
however the hosts file contains only physical hostname entry but no Virtual host name entries.
As a consequence in txn SM51, for the column host name , all I am seeing is "localhost" instead of the hostname value (physical or Virtual).
And i guess doe to this problem in txn DB12 I am not able to see the log archive overview.there I see "Unknown".
Any clue/hints would be helpful.
Thanks
