Is the BMS Host Name with Suffix novalocal Normal?
Symptom
Host names of some BMSs have suffix .novalocal.
For example, you set the host name to abc during BMS creation. Table 1 lists the host names (obtained by running the hostname command) of BMSs created using different images and those displayed after the BMSs are restarted.
Host names of BMSs created from some types of images have suffix .novalocal, whereas others do not.
Troubleshooting
This is a normal phenomenon. You can ignore it.
The static host name of a Linux BMS is user-defined and injected using Cloud-Init during the BMS creation. According to the test results, Cloud-Init adapts to OSs differently. As a result, hostnames of some BMSs have suffix .novalocal, whereas others do not.
If you really do not want any host names with the suffix .novalocal, you can change the hostname. For details, see How Do I Configure the Static Host Name of a BMS?
