Problem with duplicated hostnames

[#1]

I have installed a new SOLMAN 7.1, and I am connecting now our customer's systems to it. The problem that I am facing is that two customers have the same hostname for their SAP systems. I am collecting the host data with Outside Discovery, using the Diagnostics Agent and the SLD. So, when I added the first customer, it went fine, but when I did it for the second, it did not create a new host, but used the host that had been created for the first one, and changed some of the collected information. So now I have two SAP systems in SOLMAN that are associated to the same host. Has anyone had the same problem? Is there a way to distinguish the hostnames when they are received in the SLD (as it does with the SAP SID, for example, in SOLMAN, adding a sufix)?

Thanks,

Hi Jose,

I faced exactly the same issue as you did. I had two ABAP-stacks "C11" on Hosts "sapc11"

But I was lucky, as I had some (additional) virtual hostnames for the Systems.

For ABAP-stacks, check out DEFAULT.PFL. Usually, there are entries for SAPGLOBALHOST and SAPDBHOST (for a central System, they are the same, here: "sapc11").

I solved my issue in adding the Parameter SLDSYSTEMHOME and set the value to a virtual hostname. This value is transferred regularly via RZ70, you will see a new entry in SLD.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Dirk
