As part of the Software Pack (SPK) for HP-UX 11i v2 of May 2005, HP provided an optional Node and Host Name Expansion (NodeHostNameXpnd) product bundle, revision B.11.23.01. This product bundle enables the capability to create node and host names of up to 255 bytes. The current limitation is 8 bytes for node names and 64 bytes for host names.
Installation of this product bundle does not automatically activate 255-byte length support for node and host names. The default OS configuration will still be 8 bytes for node names and 64 bytes for host names. You must enable a dynamic kernel tunable parameter, expanded_node_host_names, using the kctune command to allow the use of larger names on the system.
Veritas 5.0 products for HP-UX were not tested with the Host Name Expansion bundle and therefore do not support Node and Host Name Expansion.
