Ignite old hostname returms

Hi,
I have recently cloned a server with ignite and when I reboot the server the old machine hostname keeps returning. I have run set parms and checked the netconf and host file. Can anyone help?

Re: Ignite old hostname returms

Have you checked the files in /etc/rc.config.d for the setting of MAC (hardware) addresses on your network cards? I can imagine problems like this when two systems are running with the same hardware address...
I assume you ran set_parms with the initial argument.
Every problem has at least one solution. Only some solutions are harder to find.

Re: Ignite old hostname returms

Hi,

/sbin/init.d/hostname sources *all* files in /etc/rc.config.d. Sometimes it's possible to find here some 'netconf.old' files or other stuff like that. Simply do a :

grep "HOSTNAME=" /etc/rc.config.d/*

and check if it only appears in netconf.

Regards.
