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 Abhijeet Kasurde 2016-06-29 10:46:49 UTC 
Description of problem:
While installing ipa server using following command,

# ipa-server-install --external-ca --setup-dns --forwarder=10.6.6.29 --hostname=server04.testrelm.test -r TESTRELM.TEST -n testrelm.test -p Secret123 -a Secret123 -U -P Secret123

Checking DNS domain testrelm.test, please wait ...
WARNING:
option '-P/--master-password' is deprecated. KDC master password of
sufficient strength is autogenerated during IPA server installation and should
not be set manually.

The log file for this installation can be found in /var/log/ipaserver-install.log
==============================================================================
This program will set up the IPA Server.

This includes:
  * Configure a stand-alone CA (dogtag) for certificate management
  * Configure the Network Time Daemon (ntpd)
  * Create and configure an instance of Directory Server
  * Create and configure a Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC)
  * Configure Apache (httpd)
  * Configure DNS (bind)

WARNING: conflicting time&date synchronization service 'chronyd' will be disabled
in favor of ntpd

Warning: skipping DNS resolution of host auto-hv-02-guest04.testrelm.test
Checking DNS domain testrelm.test., please wait ...
No usable IP address provided nor resolved.
ipa.ipapython.install.cli.install_tool(Server): ERROR    The ipa-server-install command failed. See /var/log/ipaserver-install.log for more information

# cat /etc/hosts

::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
10.6.6.9 server04.testrelm.test server04



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-4.4.0-0.el7.2.alpha1.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mention hostname with IP in /etc/hosts
2. Install ipa-server without --ip-address parameter

Actual results:
Installation failed.

Expected results:
Installation should resolve hostname from /etc/hosts file and should succeed. 


Additional info:
