                        If the Hostname and Name are not the same - in a cluster - there are issues
Environment
- Declarative Onboarding Version: 1.42.0-9
- BIG-IP Version: 17.1.1
Summary
When a DO is sent to an HA pair that wasn't configured with DO - an error like this happens: The requested system device (/Common/hostname.domain.com) was not found.
It seems there is some backend code that is using / assuming the hostname / Device Name are the same and it causes issues with DO.
The result is that it attempts to Rollback, and the system is left with a DO config in its local config DO also as verified by posting to: /mgmt/shared/declarative-onboarding/config
Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
- Build an minimal HA Cluster - HA-VLAN, HA-SelfIP, Default Route, Trust, Config Sync - etc.
- Deploy a basic DO

Expected Behavior
I wouldn't think there needs to be a consistent Device Name and Hostname. A POST'ed DO fails stating it cant find the hostname even though I posted the declaration to the Active Device's IP address.
Actual Behavior
POST fails with an error.
Further here is a snippet of the Get of the DO config post failure:
