Rename cluster nodes due to HELO Fqdn

Hi all,

i'm running a HA cluster on the non-subscription repo. I need to change both node fqdns to match the HELO that i actually want. Problem is - as soon as i do that (changed the hostname in /etc/hosts,/etc/hostname, /etc/pmg/cluster.cnf) the rsync job stops doing it's job with an "unexplained error".

I also tried the template-modification approach -> copied the main.cf.in to /etc/pmg/templates/main.cf.in, the following line seems to be responsible for the fqdn

smtpd_banner = $myhostname [% pmg.mail.banner %]

Modifying this line does the job, HOWEVER, the file moves from the active node to the second node with rsync -> i modified it to smtpd_banner = mx01.xxx.at [% pmg.mail.banner %] which gives mx01.xxx.at -> but the second node will also return mx01.xxx.at, while it should return mx02.xxx.at, as the file moves from the active to the passive.

Any idea how to get that working? I really do not want to rebuild the cluster from scratch...

Thanks for your help,

Georg
 
On a hunch - does rsync also fail, if you connect to the new fqdns via ssh first as root? (to add the new names to the authorized_keys file)?
 
i think the original issue is this

the pmgtunnel seems to have some issue when the names are changed.
 
also with the new name?
did you restart the pmgtunnel service?
 
yep, i can ssh from one machine into another with the new name. i rebooted both nodes as well.

please post:
* your pmg/cluster.conf
* the output of 'uname -n' on all nodes
* do the node have each other resolvable via '/etc/host'?

Do you try to have both nodes use the same hostname/fqdn?
