2.4.8. Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)

Verify that the server can resolve its FQDN.

Important
It is important that the host name of a Red Hat Satellite contains no uppercase letters. A host name that includes uppercase letters can cause Satellite Proxy communications (through
jabberd) to fail.
Section 13.3, “Changing the Red Hat Satellite Host Name” contains instructions if you change your Red Hat Satellite host name in the future.
