FT_HOSTS, where is it in ESX 3.5 U2?

This seems to be High Availability day! I was just testing my previous blog when I discovered a weird DNS or host file related error. So I opened up my console and typed “vi /etc/FT_HOSTS”. “vi” opened a blank file and reported back “new file”. What the heck, so I did a find and found that the FT_HOSTS file has been relocated to: /etc/opt/vmware/aam/. So if you’re looking for FT_HOSTS….

And for ESXi, you should be looking here “/var/run/vmware/aam/” by the way.

it is quite strange since I made the update to 3.5.2 yesterday and I didn’t see this change ! i checked this out today to make a response on VMTN and I saw FT_HOSTS on /etc ???

On Update 1, the FT_HOSTS file is located in /etc/opt/vmware/aam/. directory too..

[root@whocares root]# vmware -v
VMware ESX Server 3.5.0 build-82663
[root@whocares root]# find /etc -iname FT_*
/etc/opt/vmware/aam/FT_HOSTS
[root@whocares root]#
