Description

Randomly, the baremetal machines in NUE-FC-B 2 (https://racktables.nue.suse.com/index.php?page=rack&rack_id=19178) don't receive nameservers from DHCP. They receive IP address, default route, and even DNS search domains, but /etc/resolv.conf does not contain nameserver-entries.
It seems to (at least) affect all machines in this rack, not sure about others. Also restarting wicked manually ususally resolves the issue.

We've been observing the problem of DNS not working on scooter as well, see #126188. It is in another rack but also in the same server room. I suppose the problem mentioned in the last paragraph of #126188#note-23 counts here as well. So we don't have access to that DHCP server. Likely the best we can do is to create an Eng-Infra ticket describing the problem. (There's already https://sd.suse.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/SD-113959 for us getting access in general but until then we should likely create a ticket for the immediate problem.)

Maybe even #122983#note-37 is related.

It looks like openqaworker1 is affected as well. Since it is only happening randomly, the main host has a valid DNS server configured. However, when running tests at some point one runs into it inside a VM.

This issue is really test blocker. I did investigation on tests server itself with tcpdump capture during wicked restart.

I have two files:

  • dns-in-ack.pcap - with DNS
  • no-dns-in-ack.pcap - missing DNS

You can load file into wireshark and use filter dhcp.option.type == 6 to find option with DNS servers. They are missing in file no-dns-in-ack.pcap.

Sometimes even wicked restart will not help https://openqa.suse.de/tests/10986078#step/add_repositories/10 and need to be done more than once.

https://gitlab.suse.de/OPS-Service/salt/-/merge_requests/3456 was merged and is deployed to both our DHCP servers walter1.qe.nue2.suse.org and walter2.qe.nue2.suse.org . We assume this fixes the problem.

So no longer blocked. It would be nice if you could confirm that it works now.

So far, I did not see it happen again, but I'll re-trigger some more jobs to verify.

So let's assume the problem is gone as we haven't heard more.

It looks like the problem is gone, yes.
