As of today I have noticed that the following hosts have the same hostname setup:

mm-win-vista-1.qa.scl3.mozilla.com -> windows_vista (10.22.73.19)
mm-win-vista-2.qa.scl3.mozilla.com -> windows_vista (10.22.73.20)
mm-win-vista-3.qa.scl3.mozilla.com -> windows_vista (10.22.73.21)

So I have changed the hostnames for -2 and -3 to the right one. But now after a reboot the machines are no longer accessible. Most likely they got a new IP assigned.

We will have to do the same hostname change for -1 but I'm not going to do that now given that we have active tests to run. So whenever the machine is free and someone from IT is around I would appreciate the additional hostname change.

Thanks.

We chatted irc and issue was related to a previous issue with your local desktop. reminna had cert issues and was not reporting them.

You cleared the cert issues and now you are able to connect.

Yes, all is working fine now. I will also update Mana to check for proper machine names if those are getting distributed via DHCP, if not (in case of at least Windows) the name has to be adjusted manually.

Thanks
