NAME
nodename - local source for system name SYNOPSIS
/etc/nodename DESCRIPTION
When a machine is standalone or its IP address is configured locally, the /etc/nodename file contains the system name. By convention, the system name is the same as the hostname associated with the IP address of the primary network interface, for example, hostname.hme0. If the machine's network configuration is delivered by the RPC bootparams protocol, the /etc/nodename file is not used, as the system name is delivered by the remote service. Given a system name value, regardless of source, the uname utility invoked with the -S option is used to set the system name of the running system. If the machine's network configuration is delivered by the DHCP protocol, the /etc/nodename file is used only if the DHCP server does not provide a value for the Hostname option (DHCP standard option code 12). A system name configured in /etc/nodename should be unique within the system's name service domain in order to ensure that any network ser- vices provided by the system will operate correctly. Given a system name value, regardless of source, the uname utility invoked with the -S option is used to set the system name of the running system. EXAMPLES
Example 1 Syntax The syntax for nodename consists of a single line containing the system's name. For example, for a system named myhost: myhost ATTRIBUTES

NAME
scha_cluster_getnodename - local cluster node name access function SYNOPSIS
cc [flags...] -I /usr/cluster/include file -L /usr/cluster/lib -l scha #include <scha.h> scha_err_t scha_cluster_getnodename(char **nodename); DESCRIPTION
The scha_cluster_getnodename() function returns the name of the cluster node on which the function is called. The node name is not neces- sarily the same as the Solaris system name. The function returns an error status, and if successful, a string that contains the node name in the location that is pointed to by the nodename argument. If the call fails, the nodename is set to NULL. The caller of scha_cluster_getnodename() is responsible for freeing the memory that is allocated for the returned string by using the standard C library function free(3C). Freeing the memory is required only if the function succeeds. RETURN VALUES
The scha_cluster_getnodename() function returns the following values: 0 The function succeeded. nonzero The function failed. ERRORS
SCHA_ERR_NOERR Function succeeded. See scha_calls(3HA) for a description of other error codes. EXAMPLES
Example 1 Using the scha_cluster_getnodename() Function scha_err_t err_code; char *nodename; err_code = scha_cluster_getnodename(&nodename); ... if (nodename != NULL) free(nodename); FILES
