Issue/Introduction

We have a Virtual Appliance node with Identity Manager and its components deployed without Identity Portal or Identity Governance, but we see in the /etc/hosts an entry for caig-srv pointing to the IM only node.   How can we correct this to ensure routing is handled correctly. 

Environment

Virtual Appliance 14.5

Resolution

We cannot directly update the etc/hosts file.   Engineering has provided a patch to move a hosts file from /home/config/ and overwrite the existing /etc/hosts file. 

Please reach out to support if you need this fix and reference this KB. 


The steps to use this patch:

Place the provided patch in /home/config/
Copy the etc/hosts file into /home/config/
Edit the /home/config/hosts file and correct any mistakes. 
Run the provided patch with the normal patch_vapp alias.   

etc/hosts should be updated to match the /home/config/hosts file.
