Checking for a symbolic link between /etc/hosts and
/etc/inet/hosts
If the CUE extract process detects a unique /etc/hosts file and a unique
/etc/inet/hosts file, the process cannot merge the differences between the two
"hosts" files. The /etc/hosts file must be a symbolic link to /etc/inet/hosts.
To determine if the /etc/hosts file is a symbolic link to the /etc/inet/hosts file:
1. Enter:
ls -l /etc/hosts
A message similar to the following should be displayed:
2. Do one of the following:
● If a symbolic link for /etc/hosts to ./inet/hosts is displayed (similar to what is
shown above), continue with Extracting the customer’s administration and
options on page 17.
● If the system does not display a symbolic link for /etc/hosts to ./inet/hosts
and the system is operating properly, continue with Step 3.
3. Enter:
ifconfig -a
A message similar to the following is displayed:
4. Enter:
more /etc/hosts
A message similar to the following is displayed:
