parmgr to change hostname ?

[Jerry_109]

Hello HP,

I have changed my hostname from "hohp101" to
"hohp201". From my gsp it still shows "hohp101". I was told I could use "parmgr" to change this name. What commands do I enter to make this change ?

HP-UX B.11.11 U 9000/800/rp7410

You can change it using /opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr it is a xwindows motif. I know you can do it at the boot handler prompt also, but I'm not as familiar with that.

Basically you select the partition you want to change. Click "Partition" then "Modify" and change what it says to what you want and click okay.

The parmodify command will work. I have used it to do exactly what you are looking for:

parmodify -p <#> -P new_name

where <#> is the partion number you wish to rename
