<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I discovered, the hard way, that the appliance is configured with the hostname of localhost.localdomain.localdomain<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It seems that something did not go well with the hosted-engine –deploy<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I can go into the engine VM and edit the hostname, but if for any reason I need to poweroff the engine VM, I get in trouble. Because, then the hostname goes back to localhost.localdomain.localdomain and both DHCP & DNS within our enterprise/production
environment ends up assuming that for the hostname to IP address reference or record. And it seems that other linux systems (not the ones I administer; none of my almost 50 systems are effected. Of those, I have about 5 linux/UNIX based systems attached to
the production network) are going offline because of this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I assume they do not have their HOSTS file configured correctly, but they (the other administrators) are not listening to me. I have already told them what to look for, in order to fix the issue on their own systems, but they’ve ended up
with this now for the third time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is because I work for a local government and we have various administrators for the various agencies within our County government.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have unplugged my initial physical host from our County network and I think I’m going to end up bringing up a physical engine host, then work on converting that to a VM for a hosted engine. I hope that is going to work. I tried bringing
up the OVA of the appliance within VirtualBox, but that doesn’t work. Is there another virtual software I can bring up within a Windows PC to simply edit the hostname, then export the appliance again?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think the appliance for download needs to be changed to have something other than “localhost.localdomain.localdomain” as the hostname in the hosted-engine appliance. I downloaded the OVA file from the Jenkins.ovirt.org site.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sincerely,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-Robert<o:p></o:p></p>
