Determining the Delphix server ID and host name

On occasion, it may be necessary to locate the Delphix Server ID and Hostname.

The Delphix Engine ID and Delphix Server ID are synonymous. The GUI currently uses "Server," and that is the terminology that will be used in this document.

The Delphix Server ID uniquely identifies each Delphix Engine. It is a 36-character hexadecimal string of the form xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx. You can view the Delphix Server ID in the Server Setup application, the Delphix Management application, or by using the Command Line Interface (CLI) method.

The Hostname is a name you assign. It typically matches the IP (DNS) name assigned to the Delphix Engine. The hostname can only be viewed by using the System Setup application or the CLI method.

Server setup application method

Log in to the Delphix Setup application with sysadmin-level credentials:

1. Access the Delphix Engine through the URL: http://<Delphix Engine>/ServerSetup.html  where <DelphixEngine> is the DNS name or IP address of the Delphix Engine for which you wish to find the Delphix Server ID and hostname.

2. Enter a valid Username.

3. Enter a valid Password.

4. Click Log In.

On the Dashboard screen, there is a System Summary panel in the lower-left portion of the screen. The Server ID field displays the Delphix Server ID, in this example 564D39A8-5077-C9D0-9EFD-82E848EBDAB6.

The Delphix Engine Hostname is located on the same screen, in the Network panel. The Delphix Engine Hostname field displays the hostname information.

Delphix admin application

The Delphix Server Hostname is not available from this view but typically matches the IP (DNS) name assigned to the Delphix Engine.

Log in to the Delphix Management application with delphix_admin level credentials:

1. Access the Delphix Engine through the URL: http://<Delphix Engine>/Server.html where <DelphixEngine> is the DNS name of the IP address of the Delphix Engine for which you wish to find the Delphix Server ID.

2. Enter a valid Username.

3. Enter a valid Password.

4. Click Log In.

5. Under System Summary, the Server ID field displays the Delphix Server ID.

CLI method

1. Use SSH to access your Delphix Engine: ssh <userid>@<delphix_engine> where <userid> is a user ID with either delphix_admin- or sysadmin-level credentials.

2. Enter a valid password if prompted for one.

3. Enter system ls. You will see an output similar to this example:
