Hello;
I discovered, the hard way, that the appliance is configured with the hostn=
ame of localhost.localdomain.localdomain
It seems that something did not go well with the hosted-engine -deploy
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 hostnam=
e goes back to localhost.localdomain.localdomain and both DHCP & DNS within=
our enterprise/production environment ends up assuming that for the hostna=
me 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 n=
etwork) are going offline because of this.
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.
This is because I work for a local government and we have various administr=
ators for the various agencies within our County government.
I have unplugged my initial physical host from our County network and I thi=
nk I'm going to end up bringing up a physical engine host, then work on con=
verting that to a VM for a hosted engine. I hope that is going to work. I t=
ried 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?
I think the appliance for download needs to be changed to have something ot=
her than "localhost.localdomain.localdomain" as the hostname in the hosted-=
engine appliance. I downloaded the OVA file from the Jenkins.ovirt.org site=
.
Sincerely,
-Robert
