Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1271079
Prerequisites ask for hostname -s to resolve

Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/6.1/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Installation_Guide-Prerequisites.html#sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Installation_Guide-Prerequisites-Base_Operating_System Section Number and Name: 1.4.1. Base Operating System Describe the issue: The command # ping -c1 `hostname -s` # my_system does not really make much sense. With myhostname nss plugin, only the FQDN will be resolved, and my test shows that that is enough for Satellite to install. Also, the sentence above that example says Full forward and reverse DNS resolution using a fully qualified domain name. Ensure that hostname and localhost resolve correctly, using the following commands: so it correctly only talks about FQDN, not short name. Suggestions for improvement: Remove that ping -c1 `hostname -s` # my_system line. Additional information:

This was my original thought, just link to the earlier chapter. Do you think I can find the email where I originally asked about it? Nooooo :-( Thanks for acking the bug. D.
Scheduled for release with async #2.
