ApplianceWare v.5.3 Complete FAQ – February 24, 2004 – Page 30 of 30
Optifacio Software Services, Inc.
except for the case that is described below, you cannot set Appliance name manually in this case.
If DHCP server does not return a name, the standard “HOSTxxxxxx” (without quotes) name
will be generated, and it can be changed manually. The “xxxxxx” stands here for first six digits
from the MAC address of the Appliance network interface card.
1.5.3.3 My Appliance had static IP address, and then I have changed it to DHCP setting.
After reboot, an Appliance obtained other host name. What is the reason for this?
The reason is that a DHCP server has assigned that new name. If DHCP server is configured
not to assign host names, your Appliance name should remain unchanged.
1.5.3.4 What ranges of IP addresses cannot be used when setting up ApplianceWare
network settings?
According to RFC3330, (please see ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3330.txt for more
information) the following ranges of IP addresses are not permitted to be used when setting up
network settings of ApplianceWare: 0.0.0.0/8, 127.0.0.0/8, 224.0.0.0/4, and 240.0.0.0/4.
1.5.4 ApplianceWare Volume Management
1.5.4.1 I have created a logical volume of 5Gb in size, and an associated snapshot of 1Gb
in size. I've tried to copy some 2Gb of data to a volume, and copying stopped with an
error. What's the reason for this behaviour?
The problem is in snapshot size. The snapshot size should be at least equal to the associated
volume size, plus extra 16Mb to avoid overflow. When a snapshot overflows, it becomes
inaccessible. If you do need a snapshot that is less in size than the original volume, you should look
after the free space percentage on snapshot via the Volume Management section of ApplianceView
in order to avoid overflow.
