renaming a server without rebooting
2007-12-25 0:49:00
change the name, not the IP. I would like to run this procedure by folks
and see if anyone sees anything that I forgot. This server does NOT run
NIS and does not mount or export any filesystem.
* edit DNS nameserver:
oldname A record changed to newname A record.
oldname added as CNAME to newname.
* modify /etc/net/ticlts,
/etc/net/ticots,
/etc/net/ticotsord,
/etc/hostname.hme0,
/etc/nodename
/etc/hosts
* run command "hostname" to actually change it.
* check ntp.conf that may refer to the oldname.
Thanks, and I will summarize.
