Configure an alias for a node

Configure an alias for a node to use throughout OpsCenter and Lifecycle Manager. An alias is a substitute for the IP address or hostname for a node to make it easier to identify. Give each node a meaningful and memorable name for your environment.

  1. Edit the address.yaml file, which is located at var/lib/datastax-agent/conf/address.yaml for package installations, and at INSTALL_DIRECTORY/conf/address.yaml for tarball installations.

  2. Add the following option to the file:

    alias: nodeName1
  3. Restart the agent.

  4. Repeat the above steps for each node.
