Why are some RHS nodes listed by hostname and other nodes by IP-address in the output of 'gluster peer status' and how to change from IP-address to hostname in Red Hat Gluster Storage ?
Issue
- How to change from IP-address to Hostname/FQDN ?
- How to change from IP-address to Hostname/FQDN in "gluster peer status" ?
-
When running "gluster peer status" command on several storage nodes of the same trusted storage pool, some nodes show their hostnames and some show their IP-address, despite having the same network settings in
/etc/hosts
,/etc/resolv.conf
, and/etc/nsswitch.conf
-
Note, the IP-address
192.168.122.12
which should berhs1-2
:
[root@rhs1-1 ~]# gluster peer status
Number of Peers: 2
Hostname: 192.168.122.12
Uuid: a4e7a8c4-0985-4f11-ad1f-ee730bcd7320
State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)
Hostname: rhs1-3
Uuid: bc3609b3-f30e-4231-9b5f-9af878c5ca84
State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)
- Combination of IP-address and hostname can cause connectivity problem and may lead to issues.
