Configure IP Address Matching for Hosts
In certain environments, where VMs are frequently provisioned and/or decommissioned causing IP addresses to be re-used, these duplicate IP addresses can result in multiple aliases for a single host.
Use the system parameter: USE_IP_ADDRESS_FOR_HOST_MATCHING to activate/deactivate IP address matching.
APTARE StorageConsole is shipped with a value of 1 which indicates matching is turned on. You can turn it off by changing the value to 0.
Use the following procedure to modify the IP match setting.
1. Log in to the Portal Server as user aptare.
2. Type the following command:
sqlplus portal/<portal_password>
3. Locate the default value:
 
SELECT param_value
FROM ptl_system_parameter
WHERE param_name='USE_IP_ADDRESS_FOR_HOST_MATCHING';
 
4. Update the parameter USE_IP_ADDRESS_FOR_HOST_MATCHING by changing the param_value. The default is 1 which indicates matching is turned on. You can turn it off by changing the value to 0.
 
update ptl_system_parameter set param_value=0 where
param_name='USE_IP_ADDRESS_FOR_HOST_MATCHING';
