Hostname problem

rana786 — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 08:11:30 GMT

Hi all,

While installing the OS the hostname was set 'chittra1'.

The 'hostname' command returns the following line only:
-a

but the 'uname -a' command returns the following line:
HP-UX chittra1 B.11.23 U 9000/800 2068830207 unlimited-user license

In both cases the hostname should be same.

Please note that in the /etc/hosts file the hostname is chittra1

Please help.

Rgds,
Rana

Looks like someone by accident typed hostname -a which set it to -a.

It seems fairly common people mistake hostname -a with uname -a.

You should be able to just #hostname chittra1 to fix it.

I have already inform to Kranti two way we can resolve this issue:

1) # set_params --> fix the & reboot the server and
2) # hostname

Hi Rana,

Like said above you will need to try the hostname on the command line or use "set_params hostname" This will cause a reboot.

Rana,

#set_parms hostname, will prompt you to change new hostname. It will ask you to reboot (Y/N) ? Just say N.

It will take effect after you reboot, but /etc/rc.config.d/netconf has updated to newer hostname.
