Re: determine domain name

Is there an "AIX" way to determine the domain name of a node?

hostname only reveals the hostname and there are no options to that
command to give the FQDN.

I don't want to use /etc/resolv.conf, I suppose I want the ODM to tell
me.

I can find the hostname with "lsattr -El inet0 -a hostname -F value"
but there isn't anything I can find similar to get the domain name.

Perhaps I'm missing the obvious...but if you have not configured an FQDN, you will have no means of retrieving it.

If "hostname" does not reveal an fqdn, you most likely do not have one configured. I don't recall of a "uname -n" will show the complete FQDN or not (don't have access to an AIX box at this moment).

"smitty hostname" to configure.
