Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: With OVN-Kubernetes, when setting up br-ex bridge on boot, dhcp client id and ipv6 address generation mode configuration was not being properly set. Consequence: Unexpected IP address on br-ex on scenarios where non default dhcp client id and ipv6 address generation mode were being used. Fix: dhcp client id and ipv6 address generation mode configuration are now being properly set on br-ex bridge.. Result: IP address on br-ex on scenarios where non default dhcp client id and ipv6 address generation mode were being used works as expected.

Description Denis Ollier 2022-02-24 10:17:38 UTC
Hi,

I'm opening this BZ following a comment from BZ#1929160 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1929160#c66).

Description of problem
----------------------

When trying to deploy a BM-IPI cluster using OVNKubernetes backend (required for dual stack IPv4/IPv6 support). All worker nodes are registering as `localhost.localdomain` and their CSR are never approved.

Version
-------

I'm facing this issue with OCP 4.10 and 4.11 nightlies using OVNKubernetes.

OCP 4.9 + OVNKubernetes is working fine and OCP 4.10/4.11 + OpenShiftSDN is also working properly.

Please attach NM logs at trace level, thank you.

Comment 10 Beniamino Galvani 2022-03-03 17:43:59 UTC
Right, the problem is that the resolution returns "localhost,localdomain".

NetworkManager uses the glibc resolver to resolve the hostname. Please
check which NSS modules are installed with "grep hosts: /etc/nsswitch.conf".
By default they should be:

 hosts:      files dns myhostname

meaning that first /etc/hosts is tried, then DNS, then the
"myhostname" module will return the current hostname for any local
address.

Can you also try the following commands:

 getent hosts $addr
 getent -s dns hosts $addr
 dig -x $addr

where $addr is the address on br-ex (e.g. 10.1.156.46). They should
all give something different from "localhost.localdomain".

Comment 24 Denis Ollier 2022-03-09 21:06:05 UTC
I made a new tentative with OCP-4.11.0-0.nightly-2022-03-08-191358 and the hostname issue didn't happen (however the CSR is still not approved properly).

Attaching the logs for information.

Comment 35 Denis Ollier 2022-03-16 14:34:29 UTC
Regarding the localhost issue, I noticed that it is now also happening in OCP 4.9.

I managed to "bisect" that the issue has been introduced in OCP 4.9.24.

The relevant changes between 4.9.23 and 4.9.24 are https://github.com/openshift/machine-config-operator/compare/b64dc344aa5a202080189abe7b1ec92bac286c06...a4fba0f500ff1fdfced1919d81253f147fea02de

@jcaamano I suspect one of the backports in ovs-configure to be the cause of this issue.

Comment 58 Ben Nemec 2022-03-29 16:05:16 UTC
Okay, I've proposed a backport of the hostname fix based on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2058030#c24 . Can someone give that a /lgtm so I can chase approvers to get it merged? TIA.
