Chapter 3 UIM-DIS-GEIP Installation: Standalone Profile Storage
NOTE: In redundant Ethernet network configurations, you must use Ethernet
switches that support Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). Refer to
“Redundant Ethernet
network requirements” on page 17 .
Setup the master hosts file
Use the following steps to set up a master hosts file for all Profile platforms and
UIM-DIS-GEIPs. You must include the names and IP addresses of all Profile systems
and UIM-DIS-GEIPs in the hosts file. This allows you to copy the same file to all
devices on the network instead of editing a unique hosts file on each machine.
On one of the UIM-DIS-GEIPs, create the hosts file as follows:
1. Power-on the UIM-DIS-GEIP and log on as Administrator (default password
triton).
2. Open the following file using Notepad— c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
3. Enter text in a single line for each network connection including all Profile systems
and UIM-DIS-GEIPs. Be sure to include the local UIM-DIS-GEIP.
First type the IP address for a network interface, then use the TAB key or Space bar
to insert a few spaces. Now type the host name for that IP address, such as XP1.
You must add a suffix to the hostname for each high speed network interfaces, e.g.
*Optional
One subnet can be
used with this connection.
