Description

Error Message

n/a

Cause

When adding the cluster member hosts and they are added without the hostname option, it may be added under the name of the gateway appliance / virtual name.

For example:

  • adding a host via Gendeploy without specifying the hostname

Resolution

Remove the incorrectly named hosts from VOM and add them via the VOM GUI, or use Gendeploy with the   --hostname parameter.

In the situation where the host is discovered but is named incorrectly, hosts may be also be renamed.

Edit the mh_hostname attribute in the file /etc/default/sfm_resolv.conf on the incorrectly named host.  Change this to

mh_hostname=;

Note the semicolon at the end is required. Save the file /etc/default/sfm_resolv.conf.

Now run the following command on the host:

"/opt/VRTSsfmh/bin/mh_ctl.pl --rescan"
