Name of hostname | System Copy condition

[suszko_kamil]

Hi,

we want to install new system using System Copy method on SWPM.
One condition is not meet. It goes about host name:
"The host name must be an alphanumerical string. It can contain characters [A-Z, a-z], digits [0-9], and the hyphen (or minus) character "-". Although the newer RFCs permit host names beginning with digits, we recommend that host names begin with an alphanumerical character. Maximum length is 13. Current host name is: SID_T."

May I continue installation with that host name?

Regards

The naming of hosts running SAP software has to be done according to general standards (RFCs see http://ietf.org/rfc) and some SAP specific restrictions.

General rule for hostnames according to RFCs 952, 1101, 1123, 1178:

Alphanumerical string of alpha characters [A-Z] and [a-z] and digits [0-9] and the hyphen (or minus) character "-". Although the newer RFCs permit hostnames beginning with digits we recommend hostnames to begin with an alpha character. The period character "." is only allowed to delimit components of domain names like (sapc11.sap.com).
