RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Reartes Guillermo 2014-10-24 15:03:21 UTC 
Description of problem:

When one executes a hostnamectl with the -H parameters, only some fields do display the remote system. Most fields do still show the local system instead of the remote one. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
For RHEL7: 208-11.el7 (and for Fedora20: 208-22.fc20) 


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

FROM RHEL7 HOST:

[root@demo7-1 ~]# hostname
demo7-1.example.com

[root@demo7-1 ~]# hostnamectl 
   Static hostname: demo7-1.example.com
         Icon name: computer-laptop
           Chassis: laptop
        Machine ID: 4b8fe8138b3944bdb3c3a6a2ecdf9a9a
           Boot ID: 8f6caf4f2ce8434e9c451011a5b0371a
    Virtualization: kvm
  Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
       CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7.0:GA:server
            Kernel: Linux 3.10.0-123.4.2.el7.x86_64
      Architecture: x86_64

[root@demo7-1 ~]# hostnamectl -H root
root's password: 
   Static hostname: grimjow.espada
         Icon name: computer-laptop
           Chassis: laptop
        Machine ID: 4b8fe8138b3944bdb3c3a6a2ecdf9a9a
           Boot ID: 8f6caf4f2ce8434e9c451011a5b0371a
    Virtualization: kvm
  Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
       CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7.0:GA:server
            Kernel: Linux 3.10.0-123.4.2.el7.x86_64
      Architecture: x86_64

FROM F20 HOST:

[root@grimjow ~]# hostname
grimjow.espada

[root@grimjow ~]# hostnamectl 
   Static hostname: grimjow.espada
         Icon name: computer-laptop
           Chassis: laptop
        Machine ID: 7d9106ca5beb40268ef7cd272251a4d2
           Boot ID: e469a74fb46144ba9b42f420ed651688
  Operating System: Fedora 20 (Heisenbug)
       CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:fedoraproject:fedora:20
            Kernel: Linux 3.16.6-200.fc20.x86_64
      Architecture: x86_64

[root@grimjow ~]# hostnamectl -H root.205.61
root.205.61's password: 
   Static hostname: demo7-1.example.com
         Icon name: computer-laptop
           Chassis: laptop
        Machine ID: 7d9106ca5beb40268ef7cd272251a4d2
           Boot ID: e469a74fb46144ba9b42f420ed651688
  Operating System: Fedora 20 (Heisenbug)
       CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:fedoraproject:fedora:20
            Kernel: Linux 3.16.6-200.fc20.x86_64
      Architecture: x86_64


Actual results:

Only the fiedls: static hostname, Icon name, Chassis
are correct. The other fields does still show the local system instead of the remote one.

Expected results:

When executing hostnamectl with -H parameter, all field should shouw the remote system values instead of the local one.

Comment 3 Lukáš Nykrýn 2015-03-18 14:20:08 UTC 
Ugh, this looks like a bug in TRANSPORT_SSH.
I would rather leave this to rebase in rhel-7.2. With newer systemd this seems to work.
Comment 6 Lukáš Nykrýn 2015-04-21 13:50:58 UTC 
This should be now fixed with the rebase.
