Re: Change of hostname
Re: Change of hostname
===============================
# set_parms hostname
_______________________________________________________________________________
You currently have an active DHCP lease. If you
change the DHCP-supplied hostname in the following
screen, you may have problems in the future.
The current DHCP lease will be maintained, which
may cause the hostname to be reset if the system
is rebooted, unless corresponding changes are made
on the DHCP server.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Do you wish to continue?
Press [y] for yes or [n] for no, then press [Enter] y
_______________________________________________________________________________
For the system to operate correctly, you must assign it a unique
system name or "hostname". The hostname can be a simple name
(example: widget) or an Internet fully-qualified domain name
(example: widget.region.mycorp.com).
A simple name, or each dot (.) separated component of a domain name, must:
* Start with an uppercase or lowercase letter.
* End with a letter or digit.
* Contain only letters, digits, underscore (_), or dash (-).
The underscore (_) is not recommended.
* Contain no more than 8 characters per component.
* Contain no more than 63 total characters.
NOTE: The first or only component of a hostname should contain no more
than 8 characters and the full hostname should contain no more
than 63 characters for maximum compatibility with HP-UX software.
The current hostname is rx260-16.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Enter the system name, then press [Enter] or simply press [Enter]
to retain the current host name (rx260-16):
sooraj
You have chosen sooraj as the name for this system.
Is this correct?
Press [y] for yes or [n] for no, then press [Enter] y
_______________________________________________________________________________
Working...
_______________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________
Your changes will not take effect until you reboot the system.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Do you want to reboot now?
Press [y] for yes or [n] for no, then press [Enter]
============================
Sooraj
