For both automatic and seed-file name resolution, you can define local exceptions for individual systems in the seed file. Local name resolution exceptions for individual systems in a seed file identifies the keyword=<value> exceptions.

Table 1. Local name resolution exceptions for individual systems in a seed file

Automatic name resolution 1

Seed-name name resolution 2

1  When you specify NameFormat = "TM_USEAUTONAME" in the name-resolver.conf file.

2  When you specify NameFormat = "TM_USESEEDNAME" in the name-resolver.conf file.

Individual automatic name resolution exception by using a prioritized list of naming sources: Not applicable

Individual automatic name resolution exception by using a prioritized list of naming sources:

  • NAMEFORMAT=TM_USEAUTONAME

The resolution process is performed in accordance to the naming source order (0 -> 4) that is specified by the AutoNameOrder entries in the name-resolver.conf file. The default order is:

  • AutoNameOrder 0 TM_USELOOPBACK

  • AutoNameOrder 1 TM_USESYSNAME

  • AutoNameOrder 2 TM_USENONPRIVATEIP

  • AutoNameOrder 3 TM_USEPRIVATEIP

  • AutoNameOrder 4 TM_USEAGENTADDRESS

if you prefer a different naming source order, edit the name-resolver.conf file and change the AutoNameOrder numbers.

  • NAMEFORMAT=TM_USENONPRIVATEIP

  • NAMEFORMAT=TM_USEPRIVATEIP

  • NAMEFORMAT=TM_USELOOPBACK

  • NAMEFORMAT=TM_USESYSNAME

  • NAMEFORMAT=TM_USENONPRIVATEIP

  • NAMEFORMAT=TM_USEPRIVATEIP

  • NAMEFORMAT=TM_USEAGENTADDRESS

Individual seed-file name resolution exception by specifying a specific name:

  • NAMEFORMAT=TM_USESEEDNAME SEEDNAME=<user-specified name>

Individual seed-file name resolution exception by specifying a specific name: Not applicable

For an ICMPONLY system, if automatic name resolution is in effect, use the NAMEFORMAT=TM_USESEEDNAME and SEEDNAME=<user-specified name> exception to name the system. If seed-file name resolution is in effect, use SEEDNAME=<user-specified name> to name the system.

The procedure for defining local exceptions to automatic name resolution is given in “Configuring exceptions to automatic name resolution” on page 154

The procedure for defining local exceptions to seed-name name resolution is given in “Configuring exceptions to seed-name name resolution” on page 156.
