Edit the Lmhosts File on Redundant Servers

The lmhosts file is located in the following folder on the servers:

…\winnt\system32\drivers\etc

The lmhosts file contains any aliases and all network addresses of AVEVA Batch Management Servers.

You must edit the lmhosts file on each redundant server to prevent redundancy manager (RedMngr) from binding an improper IP address.

The names that you use to identify your redundant networks must be different from the computer names. In previous versions of AVEVA Batch Management, the primary network was identified by the network name of the computer. The only place that the network names should be used is in the host file.

The file content is the same for the master and backup computers. Note that the entries correspond to the entries in the RedCfg file. The #PRE entries cause the entries to be preloaded at system startup. Using #PRE entries is recommended for improved performance.

IP addresses and computer names shown here are examples.
