nova does not supprot updating the host name in neutron via updates to the hostname of the vm. what is actually being updated in the tempest test is the display_name
the display name (after normalisation) is used as the initial value for the instance.hostname instance.hostname is what is passed by nova to neutron and then read form neutron by designate. in micoversion 2.90 hostname was added as an optional parameter to update on the server https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/?expanded=update-server-detail#update-server however neutron and desitnage integration was never part of that feature. This is an RFE not a bug and the tempest tests in https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron-tempest-plugin/+/855870 is incorrect. i have left review feedback explaining why. if we want to add this functionality it would require a spec once nova has set the initial value on a port it is then not updateable via nova. ** Changed in: nova Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo! Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1989357 Title: Nova doesn’t update Neutron about changing compute instance name Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): Invalid Bug description: This is something that was raised on Neutron Designate DNS integration testing. When VM server is created, its Nova name is used by Neutron as a hostname and then propagated to the DNS backends using Designate DNS, for example: https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/yoga/admin/config-dns-int-ext-serv.html#use-case-1-floating-ips-are-published-with-associated-port-dns-attributes Created VM is named “my_vm” and the “A” type Recordset propagated to the DNS backends is: my-vm.example.org. | A | 198.51.100.4 Now, let’s say that the customer has decided to change VM’s name and that he would expect the previously created “A” type recordset to be change accordingly. Unfortunately, such a change won’t affect either Neutron or Designate DNS, because Nova doesn’t update Neutron about changing VMs’ names.
