How to : set FQDN and IP address for Host in LMDB
All,
I would like to share how to fix missing/blank FQDN hostname and IP address for a Host in LMDB.
Ususally this value is automatically returned by Outside Discovery process, however in some cases these values are blank like below and we also encounter warnings in Managed System wizard -> Check Configuration as “No FQDN found in Host”
Now for Solution Manager 7.1 (SP04 and higher) please follow below steps to set the FQDN and IP address –
Step 1- Open Agent Administration UI and goto tab Application Configuration as shown in below screen
Step 2 – Select the DCC agelet -com.sap.smd.agent.application.e2edcc in left pane under Agent applications list and choose the correct SMD agent in Scope drop down list for the host.
Then select “Edit” and click on “Add Property” as shown in below screen.
Note – It is very important to select correct agent for the host in “Scope” in below screen.
Step 3 – Enter the new Prperty Name “job.physicalhost.fqdn” and Property Value for FQDN usually “<hostname>.domain” as shown below and click OK.
The newly added value is now shown in Custom Value as shown below
Repeat this step for Property Name “job.physicalhost.ip” and Property value “IP address” of the host.
Step 4 – Then click SAVE (besides the Edit button near Scope) to save the changes.
Above FQDN and IP address values are also now saved in LMDB.
Then re-run the step Configuration Checks in Managed System wizard to complete the setup successfully.
Note –
Above steps vary according to Solution Manager 7.1 patch levels.

I followed the above steps but still I am having the same issue no FQDN found in host and these details have not got updated in LMDB. Please let me know if someting is missing or needs to done.
I am doing for logical hosts not for physical and virtual as I do not have issues with them. I also tried by keeping the property as job.logicalhost.fqdn.
Thanks
Hi Abdul, for logical hosts you need to add the following property:
Name: logicalhost.name (eg. logicalhost.clsap)
Value: fqdn=fullfqdn (eg. clsap.domain.com)
See Outside Discovery: Overriding IP Address or FQDN for Agent Nodes - SAP Solution Manager Setup - SCN Wiki for this
Good one, I am able to complete my managed system configuration.
I have resolved the FQDN issue in a few minutes due to your post!. Thanks a lot
This works, but I found the core issue. Â Set icm/host_name_full = <fqdn> in the instance profile of each server (worked for ABAP, Java, and HANA for me). Â Resync the SLD, send to the LMDB, and it'll propagate this naturally.
Thanks,
MM
