Setting up HA cluster Vsphere 4.1
Have 2 servers running esxi 4.1 and using vcenter and vsphere essential + 4.1. I created a HA cluster without DRS. I moved the hosts to the cluster but I get an error and it disables HA. the error i get is "Reconfigure HA host 1.1.1.1 Cannot complete the configurati- on of the HA agent on the host. Misconfiguration in the host network setup.
if i check more details it says "Cannot complete command 'hostname -s' on host 1.1.1.1, or returned incorrect name format
any idea what is causing this?

it certainly seems like it cannot resolve it's own hostname correctly?
ASKER
are you talking about the vmhosts themselves?
the VMware ESX hosts.
you could login to the ESX host via ssh, and type
hostname -s <ip addresss> and it should return the hostname of the ESX server.
e.g.
~ # hostname -s 172.245.138.101
esxdev001
~ #
hostname -s <ip addresss> and it should return the hostname of the ESX server.
e.g.
~ # hostname -s 172.245.138.101
esxdev001
~ #
also check the /etc/hosts files, because there should be an entry for your server in there as well.

ok, it accepted it, i just changed the hostname manually and restarted dns and the management network. So now I have a yellow exclamation saying the management network has no redundacy, but i only have 1 NIC plugged in right now so i'm not worried about that.. Thanks!
thats normal for 1 nic.
