Subject: [ovirt-users] reverse lookup failure during overt engine configuration
Hi,
I am trying to configure ovirt(ver 3.5). The fqdn I provide during the step
"Host fully qualified DNS name of this server” is reverse resolvable. I am
able to verify that with nslookup of the IP address.
But, I keep getting the following error:
Host fully qualified DNS name of this server [localhost.localdomain]:
xyz.xyz.xyz.com
[ ERROR ] Host name is not valid: The following addresses: 10.xx.xx.xx did
not reverseresolve into xyz.xyz.xyz.com
(
BTW, there is a bug here - missing space between 'reverse' and 'resolve'.
Now pushed [1] for this to master branch.
[1] http://gerrit.ovirt.org/37424
)
How is ovirt-engine trying to reverse lookup the domain? If I know that, I
could probably fix the issue.
You can see the code doing this check in
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/ovirt_engine_setup/hostname.py
You can check the log, mentioned by engine-setup, in /var/log/ovirt-engine/setup,
to try and see what failed.
Generally, by default, the check above is ran only when configuring all-in-one.
It looks up the input fqdn, and for each result address, looks up its reverse
mapping (the PTR record) using 'dig -x', and checks that the result is equal to
the input fqdn.
Best,
