Hostname not getting changed

Hello All,

I tried changing my hostname of the system using set_parms command but after reboot it is showing the old hostname.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I might suggest doing the following:

vi /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

edit the line:

HOSTNAME="your-new-hostname"

Also, change the hostname in the /etc/hosts file as well.

To set the value, either reboot or issue the following:

# /sbin/init.d/hostname start

Use the command # uname -n to confirm. Also run # nslookup <your-host-name> to be sure the system resolves itself properly.
