Bug #16134
closed
Registering system with shotname hostname results in duplicate host entries
Description
Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1362592
Description of problem:
After upgrading to satellite 6.2, all content hosts may be duplicated one with the shortname and one with the long name:
foo
foo.example.com
The reason for this is that the hosts have their hostnames configured such that the hostname command reports the shortname, while the 'hostname -f' command reports the fqdn. The problem does not occur if 'hostname' reports the fqdn.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.2.1
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install 6.1
2. Register a host with sub-man and puppet, such that the host reports its shortname via the 'hostname' command
3. Upgrade to 6.2
Actual results:
Duplicated hosts
Expected results:
Only one host
Additional info:
'subscription-manager facts' seems to not report the fqdn at all if the host is configured this way.

Ohad, This is not a dupe. This issue handles future registration whereas #16270 is meant to handle unifying hosts that were duplicated during the upgrade process. Renaming the title to make it more clear

Temporary workaround for new registrations:
run the following on a client prior to registration:
if [ -d /etc/rhsm/facts/ ]; then
echo "{\"network.hostname\":\"`hostname -f`\"}" > /etc/rhsm/facts/katello.facts
fi
