Add the IP address and name of a new server to the HOSTS
file of the Prinergy primary server.
If your network has a Domain Name System (DNS) server, do not use this procedure. Instead, add the IP address and name of the new server to the DNS server.
- Use a text editor to open
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS
. - Add a line that identifies the server's IP address and name, in this format:
<IP address><host name>
where<IP address>
is the IP address of the server
where<host name>
is the DNS name of the server - Save and close the file.
Do not accidentally add a file name extension, such as.txt
. - Repeat the procedure on each server in the Prinergy system.
The changes take effect immediately. You do not need to restart Prinergy.
