Changing the Network Host Name
When you are running InterSystems IRIS for Health in a container, the network host name is defined as the container ID by default. This causes problems when you need to replace the container because the network host name will change to the ID of the new container. To avoid this problem, do the following to define a new network host name that will not change when you replace the container:
-
Log in to the Management Portal.
-
Make sure you are in the %SYS or HSLIB namespace.
-
From the Home page, select Health.
-
In the top navigation bar, select Installer Wizard.
-
Select Configure Network Host Name and enter the new name. A DNS entry is a good choice for a name.
