Description Michael Gregg 2010-10-18 23:22:57 UTC

Description of problem:
When I am preparing a gpg file for use in installing a new replica, there seems to be issues with lacking dns entries for install of new host.

Should I create dns entries for the new host first. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-1.91-0.2010101516gitacf5f9c.fc13.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install ipa server on server1, specifying the setup of dns
2. create a gpg file for server 2
3. on server 2, set nameserver to point to server 1
4. ping server2 from server2
  
Actual results:
ping server2.testrelm
unknown host server2.restrelm

dig -x <ip of server2>
Nothing replied

Expected results:
forward and reverse entries for server to be created when I run ipa-replica-prepare on server1

Additional info:
I may be making a false assumption in assuming that these entries will ger created with ipa-replica-prepare. 
In that case, is this a doc bug?

Comment 1 Rob Crittenden 2010-10-19 13:22:01 UTC

The reverse entries get added when a replica is installed. I'm not sure what doc is wrong, is this documented at all yet?

Comment 2 Michael Gregg 2010-10-19 18:49:08 UTC

The replica doesn't seem to install if reverse entries are absent.

If the replica isn't set up, it shouldn't be able to get a kerberos ticket to create new dns entries with, so shouldn't the forward and reverse entries be created before the replica is installed?

Comment 4 Simo Sorce 2010-12-20 21:56:33 UTC

The --ip-address option of ipa-replica-prepare seem to work just fine.
Closing and turning the upstream bug into a doc issue.
