Issue #3926 has been updated by Paul Nasrat. Subject changed from uniqueid not unique enough to Rename uniqueid hostid Status changed from Needs design decision to Accepted
I agree with the rename - splitting the two bugs along this (this one for rename which is where the discussion is and Issue #3762 for UUID which has more links for that). ---------------------------------------- Bug #3926: Rename uniqueid hostid http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3926 Author: Greg Maples Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: library Target version: Affected version: 0.25.4 Keywords: Branch: basing it on hostid is not nearly unique enough especially in a xen environment with duplicated machines and multiple instances of IPs and MACs. I'd suggest something like serial number from BIOS (works for dell, hp, ibm, etc - significant portion of all x86 machines) modified by the system time when facter was initially installed. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
