Several bugs in cluster configuration
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

Hello!
In cluster configuration there are two bugs:

  1. It is possible to configure a cluster with short hostnames as the node name, but it can't be resolved.
  2. It is possible to configure signaling interface for a cluster with DHCP configuration, but it can't be guaranteed that IP will be configured at the moment of heartbeat start and as addition, this configuration can't be loaded during boot, due to checking in the configuration script.

The first problem could be fixed with the next patch:

The first problem could be fixed with the next patch:

     # If SNMP is running, restart it too

After this patch, the short hostname of a router can be resolved properly, like by default in Debian or VyOS 1.1.8.

It seems that a proper solution for the second problem should be denying of using interfaces without a static IP for set cluster interface.
