ONTAP Tools 10.3 failed setup with hostname issues.

Hi there, I set the host name to NA-OTV-01, but not able to initalize the config via OVA deploy..

The Internet standards (Requests for Comments) for protocols mandate that component hostname labels may contain only the ASCII letters 'a' through 'z' (in a case-insensitive manner), the digits '0' through '9', and the hyphen ('-'). The original specification of hostnames in RFC 952, mandated that labels could not start with a digit or with a hyphen, and must not end with a hyphen. However, a subsequent specification (RFC 1123) permitted hostname labels to start with digits. No other symbols, punctuation characters, or white space are permitted.

Though hyphen in the hostname is allowed, two consecutive hyphens ('--") in the hostname are not allowed.

Hi Calvin,

Please use the host name without FQDN, steps as below.

Select 'y' at the prompt and change the Host name from FQDN to hostname, for example:

    FQDN: OTVAppliance.demo.netap.com

    hostname: OTVAppliance

Restart the appliance

Thanks and Regards,

Pravin Kumar
