I am using Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.5.34-25.9. When I set the wsrep\_sst\_donor using CNAME([mymisc2db2.db.stratus.com](http://mymisc2db2.db.stratus.com)) instead of hostname, it failed to state transfer with the error

140505 15:13:35 [ERROR] WSREP: Requesting state transfer failed: -113(No route to host)  
140505 15:13:35 [ERROR] WSREP: State transfer request failed unrecoverably: 113 (No route to host). Most likely it is due to inability to communicate with the cluster primary component. Restart required.

If I change the host name([slc4b01c-713813.stratus.slc.com](http://slc4b01c-713813.stratus.slc.com)) instead, it works well .

nslookup [slc4b01c-713813.stratus.slc.com](http://slc4b01c-713813.stratus.slc.com)  
Server: 10.102.157.115  
Address: 10.102.157.115#53

Name: [slc4b01c-713813.stratus.slc.com](http://slc4b01c-713813.stratus.slc.com)  
Address: 10.94.68.15

nslookup [mymisc2db2.db.stratus.com](http://mymisc2db2.db.stratus.com)  
Server: 10.102.157.115  
Address: 10.102.157.115#53

[mymisc2db2.db.stratus.com](http://mymisc2db2.db.stratus.com) canonical name = [slc4b01c-713813.stratus.slc.com](http://slc4b01c-713813.stratus.slc.com).  
Name: [slc4b01c-713813.stratus.slc.com](http://slc4b01c-713813.stratus.slc.com)  
Address: 10.94.68.15

Can someone help check why I can’t use canonical name as wsrep\_sst\_donor? How can I troubleshooting this?  
Thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks

Hey there,

No cname and ips are working there.  
You need to specify `wsrep_node_name` of the donor node;  
For example if Server: 10.102.157.115 holding **wsrep\_node\_name = “mymisc2db2”**  
in order to use this node as donor one you need to specify in config file on the new PXC node

```auto
wsrep_sst_donor=mymisc2db2

```
