[OmniOS-discuss] Change Zone Hostname

[Alex McWhirter]

Yea, some services picked it up but others did not. It seems the identity/node service does not have the config variable set for nodename. I attempted to set it but received and error saying that the variable didn't exist.

I don't think this was ever an intended function for a zone.

For example, instead of “web0” i would like to name them “2049_web0” and “2050_web0”. The problem is that this set’s the hostname to “XXXX_web0”. Is there a way to change the hostname to be something different than the zone name?
