Running the EBS 12.2 Apps Tier on a virtual host
We are installing EBS 12.2.5 on AIX and the requirement is that at least the HTTP server listens on an alternative interface
which is different to the machine name.
The following interfaces are defined:
hostname=myhost ip_address=10.20.30.40
hostname=myhost_u ip_address=10.20.0.22
So 'uname' returns 'myhost'.
We will be using an F5 and this will forward traffic to 'myhost_u' so therefore the HTTP server needs to listen on 'myhost_u'.
At the moment I am testing the configuration by cloning an environment and when adcfgclone.pl requests the hostname
(interestingly it offers the choice of a virtual hostname), I give it 'myhost_u'.
