Setting Host Name in setup

I just purchased OSX Server from the MAS. I'm a rank beginner when it comes to networking and servers and hosts, so please bear with me.
One of the first steps in setting up the server asks me to name my host through (a) local network, (b) private network, or (c) Internet. I understand the difference between local and internet but I'm not sure that I want to transfer a domain name I already own from my remote host to my local server.
In the future I'd like to host my own domain on my home Mac as it's a very low key site with very little usage. I'd like to be able to set it up so users outside my home would have access to various parts over the Internet.
My question is: If I initially set things up locally, is it possible to change it to Internet at a future date if I change my mind?
Bonus question: Is there an Apple or 3rd party book or PDF available that goes into the setup and ongoing administration of OSX Server? I don't like hopping back and forth from one local window to the online Apple documentation.
Thanks friends,
-Tod

Never mind.

Naming workstations - setting host name

I would like to know if there is a way to set host names for multiple
computers once I re-image them with the same base image. I was thinking I
could create a bunch of reg keys something like "lab1-01", "lab1-02" etc.
and register computers in the lab as per their physical location.
It seems though that all their host names will remain the same as per the
original one of the base image. I then can not remote via the host name
unlike with Zen 7 when I could do that in ConsoleOne which did not rely on
host names I believe. So ideally I would like to have an easy way to
populate host names ( and maybe computer names, too ) during registration,
is that at all possible ?

I am pretty sure that ZCM 10 also has a policy or setting, which if I
remember is not enabled by default, which will rename the device names
if the workstation name changes.
Here it is ...
Configuration | Device Management | Registration
At the bottom is a section called "Device Dynamic Rename", with t a
checkbox for "Enable automatic renaming of devices". Here is what the
help file says:
Device Dynamic Rename
The Device Dynamic Rename panel lets you enable devices to be renamed,
if necessary, whenever they refresh their registration information. A
device might need to be renamed for the following reasons:
The naming template being applied to the device has changed.
A different naming template (for example, a folder naming
template rather than the Management Zone naming template) is now being
applied to the device.
Because a devices GUID and not its name is used for all relationships
with other ZENworks objects (folders, groups, bundles, policies, and so
forth), renaming the device does not affect anything other than the name
that is displayed in ZENworks Control Center.
You can define this setting at two levels:
Management Zone: The setting is inherited by all devices.
Device Folder: The setting is inherited by all devices contained
within the folder or its subfolders. Overrides the Management Zone setting.
NOTE:If you are configuring the setting on a device folder, you need to
click Override settings before you can modify the setting.

How to change host name and domain name in installed Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0?

Hi
I have Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0 installed on server. Meting Place uses Linux (Red Hat) as base operation system. Please tell me how I can change host name and domain name for Meeting Place Express application to integrate it into corporate domain infrastructure.
Thanks in advance!!!
Sincerely yours
Sergey Bondarenko

Hi
Thanks for your attention for my humble problem.
I have performed Meeting Place Express configuration through the “net” command.
But now unfortunately I can't connect to meeting place through web browser. I just get blank page.
Though I can reach the server with help of ssh. I think my DNS works properly because I can resolve the ip address of cumpxvoice .uclab.com and cumpxweb. uclab.com with help of dig command.
Have you any idea?
A lot of thanks in advance!!
Sincerely yours Sergey Bondarenko
Here I have printed the net configuration output of Cisco meeting Place Express:
[root@cumpxvoice root]# net
This is the MeetingPlace Express network configuration utility.
Up to the point where you save changes, it is safe to hit ^C to get
out at any time, in which case nothing will have changed.
1) List current configuration
2) Configure Ethernet port 1
3) Configure Ethernet port 2

How can IC WebClient determine the host name for free seating?

Hi,
I want to determine the host name at CRM application server by ICI interface for free seating scenario.
There is a TCODE CRMM_IC_GFS to set 'Host Name Identification Applet'. But when I check on it, all buttions in IC Webclient disappeared. I followed the note 812399 to change Java security configuration, but the synptom still exist. Do anybody now how to? Thanks!
BR,
Hao

To run a public VPN server, you need to do the following:
1. Give the gateway either a static external address or a dynamic DNS name. The latter must be a DNS record on a public DNS registrar, not on the server itself. Also in the latter case, you must run a background process to keep the DNS record up to date when your IP address changes.
2. Give the VPN server a static address on the local network.
3. Forward external UDP ports 500, 1701, and 4500 (for L2TP) and TCP port 1723 (for PPTP) to the corresponding ports on the VPN server.
4. Configure any firewall in use to pass this traffic.

Is it not IPv6 by any chance?It is. And if I remember correctly, then "0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1" (or "::1" for short) is the IPv6-equivalent to "127.0.0.1", i.e. it's the loopback device.

Clearing Host Name from Dynamic DNS set up - Home ...

How to set dynamic host name in the URL of a URL iView?

Hello,
I am using a standard URL iView that points to some J2EE app I've written and deployed on the same server.
I would like to set the host name to be a dynamic one, this way I won't need to change the iView URL when transporting it from one portal to another. As far as I know the system for a URL iView only controls authorizations but cannot replace the full URL set in the iView.
Any idea who can this be achieved?
Roy

Hi Mrityunjay,
forced URL at runtime will require me to call the URL iView from another iView that I will need to code (setting the URL in the Request object). If I did all this I might as well call it from this iView already.
I would like to do it with no further developments. I would have thought that SAP has constants that can be plugged in the URL for this type of thing, i.e. $hostname...
Rgds,
Roy

What is "Host name" in setting up mail accounts

I can't seem to send a message. I keep getting an error message that the connection to the outgoing server failed.
My Incoming Mail Server is "pop-server.tampabay.rr.com" is set up correctly, but
My Outgoing mail is "smtp-server.tampabay.rr.com" and this asks for a "Host Name"
What do I put in for the Host name? There is no hyphen available to set this up as "smtp-server....".
It shows an example of "smtp.example.com", but I don't have anything that is "smtp.tampabay.rr.com". So what do I use?
thanks

Error:Set by Host Name:CRMDEV;Transaction:R3AS:SMOF_DOWNLOAD

Hi Folks,
I am trying to replicate BP from CRM to R/3.All the Mappings from CRM to R/3 are already maintained.Also I have created the subscriptions and publications for R/3 in Admin Console.All the RFC Connections are working correctly. When I checked the SMQ1 in CRM I got the following error:
Set by Host Name: CRMDEV;Transaction R3AS:Report:SMOF_DOWNLOAD.
Can anyone guide me how to solve this issue?
Thanks.
Sudhan

Hi All,
Solved this issue myself.
Basically no need to worry about this queue message.
1) I done set the filter for EQUIPMENT in t-code R3AC1
2) Customer Relationship Management --> Master Data --> Installed Base --> Replication of technical objects from SAP ERP --> define default setting for Replication or equipment.
Site name - ERP logical system name
IBase Category - EQ
Obj.Family - 0401
Category ID - MAT_Z401 (Important note is this category is created under R3PRODSTYP hierarchy, under MAT_ category). Equipments in ERP also should create using this Category, then only the equipments will be downloaded)
Delta down load checked
3) Go to R3AS and select load object as EQUIPMENT and start
4) you can see the IBASE in CRM using IB53 or using the webUI search.
Thank you and Regards,
Niranjan

Yahoo's servers are notoriously unreliable. Use the "Yahoo" account type when setting it up. If it doesn't work, and you are positive the credentials are correct, wait a while and try again.
While you're waiting, set up a free gmail or iCloud email account.

Mail Setup - Domain Name vs. Host Name

I tried to search for this one, but the terms are so common that it made things a little difficult. Anyways, it's a simple question (I think):
My mail service is working fine, however I just noticed that in server admin (under Mail), the domain name is set as mail.mydomain.com and the host name is set to mydomain.com. That's counter to my understanding of what should be in those fields (it should be the reverse, if my understanding of the relevant terms is correct). However, when I tried to switch them I get the following error, albeit only when I try to send mail from one domain hosted on this machine to another domain hosted on the same machine:
mail for mydomain.com loops back to myself.
Any ideas?

You are correct, it should be the other way around.
That said, there is a bug in Server Admin. It will sometimes not correctly references the domain name portion in the mydestination parameter in /etc/postfix/main.cf.
So while it would be a good idea to swap things, you will need to also add the domain name as a local host alias in Server Admin to get mail going again.
HTH,
Alex

VM Creation - host name not set

Hi,
I'm creating vm using createVmTemplate api where i assign the hostname in NICConfig
But i see that the given hostname is not set in the vm.
Default hosname - "localhost.localdomain" is seen in the vm.
how to resolve this

Sure is, but it will involve some commandline work. First, you're going to need to install the SDK. You only need the Novacom part of the SDK, but AFAIK there's no seperate download for Windows... you have to get the whole thing. The SDK is available here: https://developer.palm.com/content/resources/develop/sdk_pdk_download.html
Next, you're going to need to enable Developer mode on your TouchPad, here's how to do that:
Start a Just Type search and enter webos20090606
A Developer Mode icon will display, tap it
Tap the toggle switch to turn it On
Leave the password blank and tap Sumbit
Close the Developer Mode app
Now, connect your TouchPad to your computer. Next, you're going to find a file called Novaterm.bat. It's buried in the install directory of the SDK. I don't remember the exact path (I don't use Windows anymore) but it's something like C:\Program Files\Palm SDK\Current\bin (keep digging around for bin folders in the C:\Program Files\Palm SDK path and you'll find it eventually). Doubleclick that to start a nice little terminal app. Choose your TouchPad from the drop down list and click connect.
Now, time for some command line stuff. Run the following commands in the terminal:
mount -o remount,rw /
cd /etc/dhcp
vi dhclient.conf
Press the I key on your keyboard to go into edit mode (this is a Vi specific thing)
Remove the # at the beginning of line 14 and change the andare.fugue.com inside the quotes to whatever you want your TouchPad reporting as. For example: #send host-name "andare.fugue.com"; would become send host-name "RidiusTouchPad";
To save your changes, hit the ESC key (to exit edit mode), then type :wq and hit enter. Note there is a colon in there. Again, this is Vi specific stuff.
sync
mount -o remount,ro /
Once you've done this, disable and re-enable your Wi-Fi and your TouchPad should be reporting a hostname. Kind of a lot of work if you ask me (unless you already have the SDK installed).

Need to change IP address and host name on a ORACLE 10g RAC setup.

If you'd like to change HOSTNAME... Metalink (NOTE:220970.1)
Can I change the public hostname in my Oracle Database 10g Cluster using Oracle Clusterware?
Hostname changes are not supported in Oracle Clusterware (CRS), unless you want to perform a deletenode followed by a new addnode operation.
The hostname is used to store among other things the flag files and Oracle Clusterware stack will not start if hostname is changed.
Changing the Private Interconnect
o Change of the IP Address: change the IP address in the hosts file and/or DNS and make sure that ASM and the database also use the same interconnect
o Change of the private node name used by Oracle Clusterware: requires a reinstall of Oracle Clusterware
So, Public or Private hostnames can only be changed by removing/adding nodes, or reinstalling Oracle Clusterware. VIP Hostnames can be changed
But you can read this idea (reinstall CRS)
