Node name coming across wrong

I am bootstrapping a linux node: “knife bootstrap
servername01.domain.org-x root -P [password]” knife node list
afterwords shows “servername01”, Not
the expected “servername01.domain.org” (FYI, this was bootstrapped before,
i did a “knife node delete” and “knife client delete”) Also, i had to give
the parameter --no-host-key-verify in the bootstrap bease of an error i was
getting. Things “seem” to work just fine until i try to re-run chef-client
a second time after bootstrapping.

Other boxed we have bootstrapped have gotten the name we expect. I am
guessing that maybe there is something that mixxing things up because the
hef server considers this as a “known host” even after the “knife node
delete” process…

Any pointers.

Perhaps, using “node_name” setting in the client.rb file would fix this issue. I ran into similar issue and was able to fix it by setting this value to the FQDN name of the node.

That sounds like it would work.

Any ideas on why the node name is the short name, isntead of the FQDN?

I guess i could ass "-N [FQDN], but i thought was assumed in the use of the
FQDN in the bootstrapping

When you don’t specify the node name, chef tries to determine the name from ohai data. Ohai’s fqdn attribute is pulled from hostname —fqdn, which can be blank if either your reverse DNS or /etc/hosts don’t specify it. Probably something is different about this particular machine’s configuration compared to the others which is causing this issue.

Also note that a lot of system deployment tools have horrible ideas about how to do /etc/hosts, /etc/sysconfig/network or /etc/hostname, and DNS hostnaming. I'd strongly encourage you to use the "fqdn" cookbook to standardize what winds up in /etc/hosts.

Good. The fqdn cookbook is limited. I've published some patches for it at https://github.com/nkadelgarcia-consultant/fqdn-cookbook, but haven't heard back from the author about the pull request I submitted.
