Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[[e-mail] (:bhearsum)]

It currently gets assigned 10.2.91.236, but the DNS entry points to something different:
foo-ix-blah:~ bhearsum$ host linux64-ref-platform
linux64-ref-platform.build.mozilla.org has address 10.2.71.245
foo-ix-blah:~ bhearsum$ host 10.2.71.245
245.71.2.10.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer linux64-ref-platform.build.mozilla.org.
foo-ix-blah:~ bhearsum$ host 10.2.91.236
236.91.2.10.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dhcp-10-2-8-236.build.mozilla.org.

the mac address is 00:50:56:A5:37:E7

Well, if it's a ref-platform and it's not up all the time, then I guess there isn't any point wasting an IP on it?

Phong?

That would be OK with me, but is IP space really at that much of a premium?. We set the hostname on the machine in /etc/sysconfig/network, which means Puppet should still work.

added to dhcp.

host linux64-ref-platform { hardware ethernet  00:50:56:A5:37:E7; fixed-address 10.2.71.245; }
