Host Profile compliance - did not find mapping for ip X.X.X.X in /etc/hosts file on the host
Hey guys,
today another challenge. I have deployed host profiles in my environment and everything works fine, great feature!
There is only one little leak, that prevents my hosts get fully compliant:
Each host (except the source-host for the profile) reporting not to be compliant because of " did not find mapping for ip X.X.X.X in /etc/hosts file on the host " message.
All esx have a local hosts file with the same content (List of all hosts and the according ip adress).
Now every hosts says it cannot find mapping for itself.
Example:
Host vm020 is the reference host - everything good host is compliant
Host vm021 (IP-Adress 10.0.0.10) is not compliant with message "did not find mapping for ip 10.0.0.10 in /etc/hosts file on the host"
Host vm022 (IP-Adress 10.0.0.11) is not compliant with message "did not find mapping for ip 10.0.0.11 in /etc/hosts file on the host"
and so on....
Any hints?

It should also have itself in the hosts file, in example:
192.168.1.13 spartacus.vcaplab.local spartacus

Hm, perhaps it needs the local host entry to be on the third line, I'll test this later today.

Hi all,
I have tried in my test environment and found the same issue.
The host profile applies the new hosts file but hosts still not get compliant.
