Completing the TCP/IP Configuration of the Servers
PlantScape Server and Client Configuration Guide 307
The hosts file is:
%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
For example:
c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
2 Add the following lines to the hosts file:
# TCP/IP address for primary
200.0.0.1 hsserva hsserva0
# TCP/IP address for backup
200.0.0.2 hsservb hsservb0
Remember to use the base server name and TCP/IP addresses that are
applicable to your site. For example, if your primary server is called hsserva
and has a TCP/IP address of 200.10.10.1 and your backup server is called
hsservb and has a TCP/IP address of 200.10.10.2, then you would add the
following lines to your hosts file:
# TCP/IP address for primary
200.10.10.1 hsserva hsserva0
# TCP/IP address for backup
200.10.10.2 hsservb hsservb0
Testing the TCP/IP Configuration
After you have modified the hosts file on both servers, you should test the TCP/IP
configuration on both servers.
To test the TCP/IP configuration:
1 Open a Command Prompt window.
2 Ping each host name in turn; for example, enter the following commands
one by one:
ping
hsserva
ping hsserva0
ping hsservb
ping hsservb0
3 If any requests time out, or if the incorrect TCP/IP address is pinged, go
back and re-examine your TCP/IP configuration. Refer to the installation
guides for PlantScape and Windows for more information, if necessary.
