To ensure that Kron DAM can resolve the hostnames of the Zookeeper nodes, you need to update the /etc/hosts file on the Kron DAM machine:

1. Access the Kron DAM server via SSH.
2. Open the /etc/hosts file with a text editor (e.g., vi /etc/hosts).
3. Add the following entries to map the Zookeeper node IP addresses to their hostnames:

:::hint{type="info"}
**Examples**

172.191.43.234 hive-masternode-01

172.173.226.15 hive-datanode-02

52.170.134.60 hive-datanode-03

40.114.55.184 hive-metanode-04

52.170.69.75  hive-adnode-05

To connect Hive nodes, it is necessary to upload the Hive JDBC files into **pam/gui/lib **in the Kron DAM environment.
