Powerpath Viewer / Name resolution of discovered hosts
Hi,
i'm having some trouble (cosmeticswise only though, but customer is complaining and wants it to be fixed) with name resolution in the powerpath viewer console. The majority of my servers get resolved by their FQDN during discovery, but some only appear with their NETBIOS name or even only with their IP address. There's no obvious difference in their IP-settings (so DNS- or WINS-stuff and similar) which I could tell from comparing 2 nodes of the same cluster, one of which appears with FQDN while the other shows up as IP address. I have other examples where 1 node gets fully resolved and the other one shows up with the NETBIOS name and such where both appear with NETBIOS name or a combination of NETBIOS and IP.
Attached is a screenshot to show what it looks like. In this picture, clusters 441/442, 481/482 (no LUNs anymore though), 501/502 are fine, 461/462 have NETBIOS and IP (10.144.184.144) and 521/522 have FQDN/IP (10.144.184.156).
I'm heavily assuming that it must be something in DNS, reverse lookup or similar. If i'm doing an nslookup for each given node, no matter if it's fully resolved or not, i'm getting back its FQDN properly.
Powerpath Viewer Version is 1.0.2.00.00.b019, Powerpath Management Component is set up identically using the defaults (attached).
Any ideas?
Cheers, Wolfi
