I did not specify --skip-name-resolve.

I am suspecting NetApp, but I fail to understand in which way I should
upgrade MySQL. I mean: we were already running it with the data /on/
NetApp, it was merely a NetApp patch that was applied.

I guess that would include the IP address of the DNS server. I'll see if
that brings me any further.
