Issue 36: Using local host for host name causes issues in identifying the source of SNMP alerts.
Description: Starting with ESXi 5.1, a value of local host for the host name causes issues in identifying the source of SNMP alerts.
The use of local host is not supported and a Fully Qualied Domain Name (FQDN) must be used instead.
Resolution/Workaround: When deploying an ESXi 5.1 server using DHCP, it is strongly recommended that a combination of a DHCP
reservation based on the selected NIC MAC addresses, and a DNS host entry using the reservation’s IP address must be congured.
You can view the MAC address in Deployment Wizard’s Server Identication page, Network Interface drop-down, and provided to
help identify the network interfaces.
The DHCP reservation and DNS entry should be created for the server prior to scheduling the deployment, and if properly
congured, should set the hostname to the value from DNS.
