453940 - cb-xserve01 reporting to the graph server with wrong hostname

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Smokey Ardisson (offline for a while; not following bugs - do not email)]

Before it died and was resurrected, cb-x1 reported to the graph server as "cb-xserve01.mozilla.com" and "cb-xserve01.mozilla.com_MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH".  

Currently, it is reporting as "cb-xserve01.local" and "cb-xserve01.local_MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH".

The hostname should be set back to the original name when reporting to the graph server (I'd fix this manually via the override line in the configs except bug 453939 prevents that).

I have no idea how to change the hostname for this. Mark?

Specifically, Console.log is *filled* with entries like

Sep 27 10:59:12 cb-xserve01 servermgrd: servermgr_dns: configured name and reverse DNS name do not match (cb-xserve01.local != cb-xserve01.mozilla.com), various services may not function properly - use changeip to repair and/or correct DNS

Sam rebooted this morning for bug 458217, and we're now reporting as cb-xserve01; no longer .local, but not .mozilla.com yet :(

FIXED; the deal here seems to be for cb-x1, we apparently either need to edit /etc/hostconfig to use the full hostname (all of the other boxen have just their simple hostnames), or run changeip like the console message says.

Since changeip's instructions included warnings about including the right LDAP and node info when running the command, I just made the /etc/hostconfig change.  I still am not sure why it's necessary here (other than cb-x1 is running Server) nor why `hostname` reports a full hostname for cb-minibinus01 and only the machine names for cb-miniosx01 (and formerly cb-x1), but there you have it.
