http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1189868 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1189868#c15 --- Comment #15 from William Brown <william.brown@suse.com> --- https://github.com/389ds/389-ds-base/pull/4960 I've put in a fix to the error message here, but we can't actually do much else beside be clearer about whats going on. The issue is that susetest machines in openqa seem to have an invalid hostname that doesn't resolve to localhost: susetest:~/test # cat /etc/hosts # # hosts This file describes a number of hostname-to-address # mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It is mostly # used at boot time, when no name servers are running. # On small systems, this file can be used instead of a # "named" name server. # Syntax: # # IP-Address Full-Qualified-Hostname Short-Hostname # 127.0.0.1 localhost # fallback hostname used by NetworkManager 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain # special IPv6 addresses ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback fe00::0 ipv6-localnet ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts due to this when lib389 is trying to determine if the instance status can be retrieved, we look if the named instance is local or not. To determine this we use a number of factors, but one is the hostname matching to a local ip on the machine. In this case, we likely need to add to /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 susetest Which would resolve this detection issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
