Hostname cannot be resolved. The system is not fully operational with IGEL OS


We currently have a problem with the buddy update feature.

Learn more, read the entire thread inside the IGEL Community o Slack

At one site, the following error message occurs repeatedly:

“Hostname cannot be resolved. The system is not fully operational.”

The buddy update server is not stored in the profile but is searched for, this also works with a fraction of the devices.

Updates are searched for during a restart or boot.

Can the search of the update be delayed?

Strangely enough, a manual update controlled via the UMS does not work on the IGELs either.

Although the devices are all in the same subnet.


If you go to CLI, what does the command

igel_buddy_update_server_scan gives back on a Buddy slave?


Hi, could you provide a screenshot fron the latest error message? (Scrollbar on the bottom)
