Hostname Changed automatically after LB upgrade from 11.x to 12.x

Hi,

 

I upgraded our LB act/standby pair last weekend. After upgrade I see hostnames of both boxes are changed form VLBDMZ.xxx.biz to VLBDMZ.localdomain.That was the only Change I saw , the remaining config is proper. I changed the hostnames manually by modify sys global settings hosntname <>.But I still see the same hostname with localdomain after sync form act to standby. Then I have change hostname from GUI on platform tab. Now it is proper but device group is still not updated.May I know the reason behind this why the hostname changes after upgrade.

 

I am planning to do device reset trust.

 

Regards Sai

  • Upgraded many device but never face any issue related to host name. Open support case.

     

  • If this is a vCMP guest you should also verify that the hostname is properly set on the vCMP host. Otherwise, I would also suggest you open a support case.

     

    There isn't enough data here to give you a definite answer, and I was not able to find any known issues that would cause this.

     

  • Yes this is a Viprion guest..This was properly set..but some how the name got changed as name.localdomain instead of name.. I got a response to reset trust but they are still not sure what could be the reason for hostname change.

     

  • Hi Chris,

     

    YOu are genius. yes the hostname is pushed by VCMP Host and the name is derived form the host after reboot.

     

    Thanks so lot.
