Hi Mark,
Having a late one so thought I'd respond with the output below. This is a VERY
simple flat set-up with a solitary MN and 10x CN in scope to be deployed to.
hn_01:~ # ip -4 a show 2>&1| grep inet
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
inet 172.18.10.31/16 brd 172.18.255.255 scope global eth0
inet 172.19.0.31/16 brd 172.19.255.255 scope global eth1
inet 172.20.10.31/16 brd 172.20.255.255 scope global ib0
hn_01:~ # nslookup -type=A 172.18.10.31 172.18.10.31
Server: 172.18.10.31
Address: 172.18.10.31#53
** server can't find 31.10.18.172.in-addr.arpa: SERVFAIL
hn_01:~ # nslookup -type=A 172.18.10.31
Server: 172.18.10.31
Address: 172.18.10.31#53
** server can't find 31.10.18.172.in-addr.arpa: SERVFAIL
hn_01:~ # hostname

hn_01:~ # cat /etc/hostname

We were wondering if this might be due to the fact the hostname of the MN
contains an underscore. We noticed that the makedns -n command produces heaps
of objections to our existing hosts file which has lots more hostnames with
underscores in. We have a virtual environment running on a big laptop without
any underscores in MN/CN hostnames and noticed weirdness when we introduced a
new CN with an underscore in its name. The hostname wasn't tracked in the
computes.log and the hostname set initially was just 'linux' which are both
effects we see in our 'real' Pre-Prod cluster.
This small Pre-prod cluster has a previous (currently disabled) xCAT server
running 2.7 on SLES11.3 deploying 11.3 nodes quite happily however despite an
underscore in its hostname.

Andre,
Is this a flat or hierarchical cluster with service nodes ?
Can you run the following three commands on the Management node ?
ip -4 a show 2>&1| grep inet
nslookup -type=A <MN host IP> <MN host IP>
nslookup -type=A <MN host IP>

________________________________
Hi,
we set up xCAT 2.14.6 on SLES12SP5 at the MN.
While running `xcatprobe xcatmn -i eth0 -V` we get error for DNS. All other
checks are OK.
What is checked here and could be wrong?
[mn]: Checking DNS service is configured...
[FAIL]
