Bug Fix(es):
instance.hostname
field. Some customers use this unsupported naming in their workflows.A recent update [1] now sanitizes the instance.hostname
field. The sanitization steps include replacing periods with dashes, a replacement that makes it impossible to continue using the unsupported FQDN instance display names.
This update provides a temporary workaround for customers who use a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) as the instance display name in a boot server request. It limits the scope of the sanitization to cases where the instance display name ends with a period followed by one or more numeric digits.
If you use FQDN as the instance display name in a boot server request, modify your workflow before upgrading to RHOSP 17. (BZ#2036652)
