NAME
sge_h_aliases - Grid Engine host aliases file format
DESCRIPTION
All Grid Engine components use a hostname resolving service
provided by sge_commd(8) to identify hosts via a unique
hostname. sge_commd(8) itself references standard UNIX
directory services such as DNS, NIS and /etc/hosts to
resolve hostnames. In rare cases these standard services
cannot be setup cleanly and Grid Engine communication dae-
mons 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 dae-
mons with a private and consistent hostname resolution data-
base.
If a host aliases file is used, it must be specified expli-
citly to sge_commd(8) via the -a command line option.
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 sge_commd(8).
