[Freeipa-devel] Query regarding pytest-multihost plugin

[Niranjan]

Greetings,

I have a following query regarding pytest-multihost plugin. I am going through
the current documentation of this plugin at [1]

According example yaml file specified in documentation 

<snip>
ssh_key_filename: ~/.ssh/id_rsa
domains:
  - name: adomain.test
    type: test-a
    hosts:
      - name: master
        ip: 192.0.2.1
        role: master
      - name: replica1
        ip: 192.0.2.2
        role: replica
</snip>


Does the plugin connect to hosts using the hostname given under "name" or does
it user "hostname" parameter if specified . 

The documentation specifies hosts have : role, hostname, shortname,
external_hostname and ip-address

So what is the role of "name" parameter in the above example ?


If i have the following yaml file:

<snip>
ssh_key_filename: ~/.ssh/id_rsa
domains:
  - name: adomain.test
    type: test-a
    hosts:
      - name: master
        ip: 192.0.2.1
	external_hostname: pki1.example.org
        role: master
      - name: replica1
        ip: 192.0.2.2
        role: replica
        external_hostname: pki2.example.org
</snip>

Does the plugin connect to hosts using external_hostname or does it try
connecting to master.adomain.test and replica1.adomain.test, (currently
this is the behaviour that i am seeing, it ignore external_hostname)
