Looks like the current code logic does not handle the case the customer set the hostname for the node in the host.hostname. The correct code logic should be to check the 'host.hostname' when add the hostname entry for the node to the dhcpd.leases file.
You could try to take a look of addnode() in the dhcp.pm Thanks Best Regards ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wang Xiaopeng (王晓朋) IBM China System Technology Laboratory Tel: 86-10-82453455 Email: [email protected] Address: 28,ZhongGuanCun Software Park,No.8 Dong Bei Wang West Road, Haidian District Beijing P.R.China 100193 From: "Pocina, Goran" <[email protected]> To: "'xCAT Users Mailing list'" <[email protected]>, Date: 2012/11/21 05:37 Subject: [xcat-user] Can a short hostname be converted to a FQDN during an install? We’d like to use short hostnames as all of our keys in the xCAT tables, to save typing, and have the FQDN assigned as the hostname after an install. We could fix the hostname with a postscript, or perhaps a Kickstart statement, however we’d prefer to have it done more transparently. It would be great if we could use something like a regex in “network.nodehostname=”/\z/.nyc.desres.deshaw.com/” to do this automatically: [root@drdkvm0003 dump1]# lsdef -t network 149_77_52_0-255_255_254_0 Object name: 149_77_52_0-255_255_254_0 ddnsdomain=nyc.desres.deshaw.com domain=nyc.desres.deshaw.com dynamicrange=149.77.53.132-149.77.53.191 gateway=149.77.52.10 mask=255.255.254.0 mgtifname=!remote! nameservers=149.77.52.53,149.77.52.35,10.232.15.130 net=149.77.52.0 nodehostname=/\z/.nyc.desres.deshaw.com/ ntpservers=149.77.52.24,149.77.52.41,149.77.52.138,149.77.52.129 tftpserver=149.77.53.252 But this doesn’t seem to have any effect on the DHCP host-name entry generated in the leases file, or on the “HOSTNAME=develkv8” entry put in /etc/sysconfig/network after the install. BTW. We do have the FQDN listed first in /etc/hosts and DNS: [root@develkv8 ~]# hostname develkv8 [root@develkv8 ~]# host 149.77.53.121 121.53.77.149.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer develkv8.nyc.desres.deshaw.com. [root@develkv8 ~]# grep develkv8 /etc/hosts >>> 149.77.53.121 develkv8.nyc.desres.deshaw.com develkv8 # row 0 rack 0 rank 0 Is there a transparent way to do this?
