Symantec ESM on Docker

Open Source Projects DockerEngine
1

we are trying to start softwares like Symantec ESM and IBM Tivoli ITM, those are host dependents, we have couple of questions like

  1. how to start hostname specific applications on Docker Containers, because each time container provides unique hostname. So we have started with "docker run -i -t -h . how do we know while creating Docker Image, which hostname it is assigned.

  2. To specify the host name we have options ENV HOSTNMAE in Docker file, the following docker file i have used. however got the error like "

    Configuring ESM

    Using MLAMRS Configuration

    esmsetup: The Agent Name should be either hostname, IP or FQDN name.

    Unable to resolve FQDN for local agent bacs-packaging1.lab.dev.us.ml.com

    *** CCS setup encountered a fatal error ***"

    cat Dockerfile

    FROM prab
    MAINTAINER Prab
    ADD local.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/
    ADD bac.conf /etc/
    ENV HOSTNAME bacs-packaging1.lab.dev.us.ml.com
    RUN yum install -y wget bac-esm
    #CMD ["/etc/init.d/esmrc", “start”, “FOREGROUND”]
    CMD ["/esm/bin/lnx-x86/esmd", “-fv”, “FOREGROUND”]

    1. the otherway i have found the host name is ESM installation will creat host speicfic information at /esm/system/, based on that i have started docker container

    docker run -i -t bac_esm3
