Re: hostname on centos 7.1

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Just to clarify...

I have just tested the immediate change taking effect, after reading the page listed in the other reply.

For some reason I was able to see immediate change on my vms, however, now that I try it on the Host, it does not persist.

So maybe when I was setting things up, I actually flashed the vms. (I can't remember, but the change was done, and I immediately typed `hostname` and it appeared to have taken immediate effect.  However, this is not the norm, as I have just discovered.)

Respectfully,

Greetings everyone.

I have some CentOS 7 VMs running on the system for which I just made the inquiry about the kworker problem, and I was able to institute immediate change of hostname by updating the /etc/hostname file.

I have network manager running on the host, as well, and it also has the name populated in this file.

When I make the change in /etc/hostname, it takes immediate effect, and persists across reboots, just as with /etc/sysconfig/network prior to RHEL/CentOS 7.

If my input is out of context, then I apologize for the confusion.  

(I have vlans attached to the gigabit Ethernet cable, which is used to service the exposed VMs, and I use the wireless adaptor for all other internet and lan usage, hence my use of network manager on the desktop being assumed to be relevant to this inquiry.)

Respectfully, 

Martes G Wigglesworth

hostnamectl set-hostname --static c7.msgnet.com  


Without the static option, I think it leaves out the periods in the name.
