Cloning methods

[latifa]

Hi Erman,

I would like to know your opinion.
What is the best procedure between:

- give the server allias as the web entry while cloning
- or cloning with the server name (hostname) and after cloning is finished modify (s_login) the context_file and run autoconfig after that.

I didn't understand your point.

modifying s_login during cloning?

So, I guess you have a scenario, and your question is related with that.

Please describe your scenario and concern with details.. What are you trying to achieve?

Hi Erman,

My aim is to have Web entry like following:
      <a href="http://loreal.domainname:port">http://loreal.domainname:port

So which procedure is correct while cloning the web entry anode and prompted to answer to the following question :

  Target System Hostname (virtual or normal) [udkfinp08] :

       --> 1. leave it like that.  in this case, the web entry will be:
       http://udkfinp08.domainname:port
       run auconfig after modifying context_file parameters later.

       --> 2.  we may reply to previous prompt:
      Target System Hostname (virtual or normal) [udkfinp08] : loreal
       so the web entry will be: http://loreal.domainname:port

Hi Latifa,

Aha. if you are implemeting something like a load balancer or reverse proxy
in front of EBS;

Then this one is what you should do ;

"cloning with the server name (hostname) and after cloning is finished
modify the context_file and run autoconfig after that. "

If you just have a virtual hostname (an additional one) on your server and
if it is okay for you to make your EBS using it for all of its
services(like concurrent managers etc..) then -> you can  reply to previous
prompt -> Target System Hostname (virtual or normal) [udkfinp08] : *loreal*

Hi Erman,

The first one is the right as we have a load balancer.

Thank you Erman
