Re: VCL Returns Private IP for Reservations
Hi Clifton,
Make sure the /etc/hosts file is correct. In the log output you included, the
private IP address is first being retrieved from /etc/hosts. The address the
code found is shown in the log file line:
PrivateIP address for host1 collected 10.0.4.106
This does not match what's being used on the host (10.0.4.119). This could
either be due to incorrect data in /etc/hosts or you have encountered a bug in
the code where it doesn't parse the /etc/hosts lines correctly.
After vcld retrieves the private IP address from /etc/hosts it checks the
ipconfig output. It returns either the first public address it finds. It a
public address isn't found, it returns the first private address it finds which
doesn't match the private address retrieved from /etc/hosts. Because the
/etc/hosts address (10.0.4.106) doesn't match the ipconfig private address
(10.0.4.119), the first ipconfig private address was returned.
Look at /etc/hosts. Does the line with address 10.0.4.106 contain "host1", or
does it contain another host name beginning with "host1", such as "host10"? If
it's the latter, then try changing line 1602 in utils.pm from:
if ($line =~ /([0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*)\s+($node)/) {
to:
if ($line =~ /([0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*)\s+($node)(\s|\.)/) {
Restart vcld and try to make another reservation. If you're still encountering
the problem, please include the contents of /etc/hosts on the management node.
Hope this helps,
Andy

public/private are assigned to which adapter) with the Mac addresses and
names of the adapters in the Computer table's eth0 and eth1 columns. I
believe eth0 is the private adapter and eth1 is taken to be the public.

needs to
