#3398 updatenode -P fails if hostname on the node is FQDN

[Lissa Valletta]

If the hostname on the node has the doamin name then xcatdsklstpost tries to get the wrong mypostscript file.

From the wget.log
--2013-03-01 11:24:28-- http://9.114.47.250/tftpboot/mypostscripts/mypostscript.rra000-m.pok.ibm.com.tmp

Note the file is actually --2013-03-01 11:24:28-- http://9.114.47.250/tftpboot/mypostscripts/mypostscript.rra000-m.tmp

I guess my suggestion is we check for a FQDN and strip the domain.
In xcatdsklspost
node=hostname <-- need to take out domain use hostname --short
max_retries=2
postfix=0
download_mypostscript $SIP $node $postfix $max_retries $TFTPDIR

Looks like xcataixpost is ok

$::shorthost = hostname -s;
chomp $::shorthost;

check in to trunk
revision 15343
2.8.1

revision 15344

[Lissa Valletta]

I also notice if the hostname in the nodelist table is FQDN, then I get no mypostscript file built under /tftpboot/mypostscripts directory when I run updatenode and I assume that would also happen on install. This needs to be fixed but I think most customers put short names in the nodelist.

[Lissa Valletta]

This xcatdsklspost file is for the xCAT 2.8 GA install and replaces on the Management node and any service nodes.
/install/postscripts/xcatdsklspost

Also provided is a patch file, if you would prefer to patch. Copy the xcatdsklspost.patch to /install/postscripts
cd /install/postscripts
patch -b -p0 xcatdsklspost xcatdsklspost.patch

[Lissa Valletta]

A new change to xcatdsklspost needs to be made to replace my fix.
We need to add the nodename from he nodelist added to the xcatinfo file on the node.
Then xcatdsklspost will check
/opt/xcat/xcatinfo
if not there
check dhcp
if not there
check hostname
If long hostname check for both short and long hostname in the file name.

Checked in the fix in trunk with revision 15379.

Does it need to be fixed in xCAT 2.8.1? The code is in critical path, just want to make sure if we are willing to take the risk or not.

[Lissa Valletta]

yes I believe this is a 2.8.1 must fix. A lot of fixes and new function are going into 2.8.1. It is not the emergency stream anymore for PCM since we have the 2.8pcm stream now to support that.

[Lissa Valletta]

There will no support to putting long hostnames in the database until 2.9.
