Windows Azure Pack machine naming conventions

 

Applies To: Windows Azure Pack

It is easier to identify machines if you use descriptive names. For example, this guide uses the names listed in the Sample machine name column.

Component	Sample machine name	Sample machine name for high availability
Single Express deployment machine	WAPPortal	Not applicable
Admin API	WAPAdminAPI	WAPAdminAPI01
Tenant API	WAPTenantAPI	WAPTenantAPI01
Tenant public API	WAPTenPubAPI	WAPTenPubAPI01
Admin authentication site	WAPAdminAuth	WAPAdminAuth01
Tenant authentication site	WAPTenantAuth	WAPTenantAuth01
Management portal for administrators	WAPAdmin	WAPAdmin01
Management portal for tenants	WAPTenant	WAPTenant01
SQL server hosting the management databases	WAPSQL	WAPSQL

Each machine in your deployment must have a name that is 15 characters or less.

You should use names similar to those provided in the Sample machine name for high availability column for a high availability deployment. For more information about high availability, see Windows Azure Pack high availability.
