To update system short name. Edit /etc/sysconfig/network and update the HOSTNAME field to the desired short-name.
HOSTNAME=node1
To update the systems fully qualified domain name. Edit /etc/hosts and insert a new entry following the notation of (host_ip // FQDN // short-name).
In our example:
- host_ip = 192.168.0.2 (Yours will be different)
- FQDN = node1.mydomain.local
- short-name node1
192.168.0.2 node1.mydomain.local node1
