Shalom,

change hostname in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

Then stop and start the net service /sbin/init.d/net

You might find services like NFS are disrupted and you are better off scheduling a boot.

Do not forget to change self resolution entries in /etc/hosts

you can change hostname via hostname command or using set_parms but to be able to use the new name for all your applications and services you MUST restart the server

To change the hostname you could use
# hostname

Edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

Change the NODENAME

>> The best way is to use

# set_parms hostname

[Avinash20]

To change the hostname you could use
# hostname

Edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

Change the NODENAME, HOSTNAME

Edit /etc/hosts, make neccesary changes.

# set_parms hostname
and
edit /etc/hosts file
