This happens because a client that is not secured recognizes only the primary
hostname of the Cell Manager. Requests from any other client are allowed, but
are logged to the inet.log file.
Action
Secure the client. For instructions, see the online Help index:
“securing client systems”.
Requests from the clients listed in the allow_hosts file will not be logged to
inet.log. Requests from other clients will be denied.
All possible hostnames for the Cell Manager nodes should be listed in the allow_hosts file on each client that is being secured. This enables access to the client also in case of a failover. If you accidentally lock out a client, you can manually edit the allow_hosts file on that client.
I am not familiar with the directory structure on OpenVMS, so I am just taking my best shot that you will need to look in the directory
/usr/omni/config/client
and see if there is a file called 'omni_info' (if OpenVMS has a search capability, you can search for this file). Once you find this file, you are in the right directory
The 'allow_hosts' file does not exist by default, so you can create it in an editor (HPUX has a 'touch' command that does the same thing)
In this file add all possible names of the cell manager, including Fully-Qualified domain name, and any aliases. I think that there is a chance that you are using /etc/hosts for name resolution, so this may be a good place to start
