Configuring hosts information for replication servers

If you are not using Domain Name Service (DNS) to identify IP addresses and system names, you do need to configure the hosts file on each replication server to add the IP addresses and system names for all other replication servers in the domain.

About this task

The hosts file is in the following location.
Operating System File
UNIX /etc/hosts
Windows %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Important: Leave a blank line at the end of the hosts file on Windows.
For example, your hosts file might look like the following:
192.168.0.1 ny.usa.com
192.168.0.2 tokyo.japan.com
192.168.0.3 rome.italy.com
192.168.0.4 perth.australia.com
