changed.
CAUTION:
• The host name must be no more than 32 bytes.
• If you change the host name of the management server in advance, keep a note of the new host
name that is displayed by the hostname command. In Windows, you can also use the ipconfig
/ALL command to display the host name.
Specify the host name to be set for the management server exactly, including the case.
To change the host name of the management server:
1. Stop the P9000 Command View AE Suite product services.
• In Windows:
Select Start > All Programs > HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite > Manage
Services > Stop.
• In Linux:
installation-directory-for-Common-Component/bin/hcmdssrv -stop
2. If TLS/SSL is used for communication between the management server and management clients,
re-create a server certificate of the management server by using the new host name.
3. If the OS is Linux, edit the /etc/hosts file.
Change the host name of the management server to the new host name. For Linux, write the new
host name into the line above the localhost line.
