Description

The Windows OS code is using the computer's private IP address from the database rather than the /etc/hosts file on the management node. The code is supposed to be trying to use the hosts file first in case the database value is incorrect. This isn't happening becuase the value is getting set in the reservation data hash from the database by get_request_info. The sub in DataStructure.pm checks to see if the hash value is set before attempting to retrieve it from /etc/hosts. It is set, so /etc/hosts is never read.
