I have been of the same opinion.
But with the new domains, I cannot install across the domains, so I have to do some special stuff to get the netbackup files up on the domain to upgrade those servers. This is where I am having the issue, so when I do the upgrade I need to be able to say these 4 servers are on a different domain and know that I have to do special steps. ________________________________ From: Stafford, Geoff [mailto:gstaff...@barclaycardus.com] Sent: Monday, March 16, 2009 12:28 PM To: Judy Hinchcliffe; ewi...@ewilts.org Cc: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] question on client names The need to use FQDNs is, imho, a sign that you don't trust your DNS. FQDNs are a PITA if you ask me and I would rather take the time to make something as mission critical as DNS work right instead of hiding the real problem. To each his own, I've been on contracts before where the problem was systemic and that was the only way to get backups working without significant changes in procedures across the company but if your admins and network guys are doing their job you shouldn't have to. I guess my comment is just that 'you shouldn't have to use FQDN's' and if you don't have to I wouldn't. To each his own.
