Fixed In Version: ovirt-node-3.0.1-2.el6 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
An error code was displaying in the ping test results page when the input host length was more than 64 characters. This no longer occurs as there is now a check for the length of each field as well as the entire hostname to make sure it is not too long. It adds a validator for length, which checks for total length of less than 256 octets and field lengths of less than 64 octets.

The FQDNOrIPAddress validator should probably be fixed to check for to long hostnames.

Yes, but it's 63 chars *per level*.  So we need to split on . and check each section.

test-really-really-really-really-really-long-hostname.test-really-really-really-really-really-long-hostname.example.com is perfectly fine (54 chars in the first 2 levels)

Comment 4 Ryan Barry 2013-06-11 23:09:22 UTC
This is fixed in http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/15583/

It adds a validator for length which checks for total length of less than 256 octets and field lengths of less than 64 octets.

Comment 9 cshao 2013-10-24 10:20:06 UTC
rhev-hypervisor6-6.5-20131017.0
ovirt-node-3.0.1-4.el6.noarch

Test steps:
1. Install RHEV-H and configure network.
2. Enter network ping test page.
3. Enter a long host to ping(more then 64 characters).

Test result:
"The field must contain members of 63 characters or less" will pop-up.

So the bug is fixed, change bug status to VERIFIED.
