Chapter 3 Understanding network system concepts
Use SiteConfig to define your networks and devices. When you do so, SiteConfig
creates the correct hosts file and copies the hosts file to each network device. This
enforces consistent hosts files across networks and reduces errors introduced by
editing and copying hosts files on individual devices. You can also view hosts files
from SiteConfig for troubleshooting purposes.
Host table tips
• If transferring to or from a Profile XP or Open SAN system via UIM, the hosts file
must also follow UIM naming conventions for those systems. Refer to the UIM
Instruction Manual.
• Do not enable name resolutions for media (iSCSI) network IP addresses in the
hosts file, as hostname resolution is not required for the media network. If desired,
you can enter media network information in the hosts file as commented text as an
aid to managing your networks.
