Description of problem: I am testing packstack in virtual machines and have a libvirt network configured such that virtual machines have the resolvable names: controller.example.com compute1.example.com compute2.example.com When running packstack with the --install-hosts option however I found that it will not accept host names. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openstack-packstack-2013.2.1-0.11.dev806.el6.noarch Actual results: # packstack --install-hosts=controller.example.com,compute1.example.com,compute2.example.com Welcome to Installer setup utility Parameter CONFIG_NOVA_API_HOST failed validation: Given host is not in IP address format: controller.example.com ERROR : Failed handling answer file: Given host is not in IP address format: controller.example.com Please check log file /var/tmp/packstack/20131023-131046-H8efqE/openstack-setup.log for more information Expected results: Creation of a three node setup with host names used in configuration files instead of IP addresses.
In the past we had problem with some services and hostnames, so packstack currently accepts only IP addresses. We can check if this is still the problem and start supporting hostnames for some services, but safety reasons installhosts will support IP addresses only.
