Parameter: preferredFQHN

Startup parameters change the behavior of the HPE Service Manager server. You can always set a startup parameter from the server's operating system command prompt.

Parameter

preferredFQHN

Description

This parameter allows you to specify the fully qualified host name you want Service Manager clients to use when communicating with the server. You only need to set this parameter if your Service Manager host is identified by multiple names on the network.

During startup, the HPE Service Manager process determines the host name and registers it with the load balancer for later use. The load balancer process manages and routes internal client connections to the host name, which is specified as http://hostname:httpPort. When the load balancer receives a client request, it redirects the client to the previously determined host name of the process.

This parameter applies to both horizontally-scaled and vertically-scaled environments. In a horizontally-scaled environment, this parameter specifies the preferred host name of the local system for client connections. For example, your system manages two concurrent client connections, prodhost.corp.com and prodhost.emea.corp.net. You need the load balancer process to manage and route internal client connections through prodhost.emea.corp.net. Set the parameter in the initialization file as follows:

preferredFQHN:prodhost.emea.corp.net
