Hi,

you should use

set_parms hostname

see http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60105/set_parms.1M.html

Be aware of this:

"WARNING: When changing the host name, set_parms does not know about optionally installed software. If any such software remembers the previous host name, it might not work properly after the host name is changed."

Hi:

For all practical purposes, the hostname and nodename should be the same.

As noted, use:

# /sbin/set_parms hostname

...to set the server's hostname. A reboot will occur.

During startup, when '/sbin/init.d/hostname' runs, if the variable NODENAME has not been defined, the 'nodename' (as seen with 'uname') is set equal to the hostname.

Regards!
