This afternoon I added a new node by FQDN (hostname.domain.com) into the ITA system. I performed a discovery/inventory on the node. When I checked the devices list (under servers) I noticed the name of the device changed to someotherhostname.domain.com
Under "Ranges" I noticed the node name is hostname.domain.com. How did the node name change during the inventory/discovery process?
My DNS servers does not have an entry for "someotherhostname.domain.com" and I performed a DNS flush on the ITA server. I also tried re-adding the node, confirming snmp settings on the server to be monitored and re-installed OMSA on the new server. Unfortunately, the problem persists.
Could you please advise how I may rename the node to the proper name?
Similar problem here: I enter an IP address as the range, and the devices tree shows an old hostname. Have flushed ITA's dns cache. The is nothing in the ITA local hosts file, so all I can assume is that the old box has an entry in our DNS server, which I don't have access to. It would be interesting to hear of a resolution to this, as I have experience similar issues more than once.
