Hi, For various reasons, I want to use short host names for my nodes. This means that /etc/sysconfig/network on a machine (after rolling out an image) should have a short host name (e.g. HOSTNAME=n001) rather than a fully qualified name (e.g. HOSTNAME=dn001.mydomain.net).
SystemConfigurator supports this by adding "SHORTHOSTNAME = YES" to the [NETWORK] section in /etc/systemconfig/systemconfig.conf However, AFAIK si_prepareclient does not (under any circumstances) even write the [NETWORK] section as it creates a new systemconfig.conf (overwriting the old, obviously). Which means that I probably cannot configure my way out of the issue using si-suite commands. I this correctly understood? An obvious solution is to edit /etc/systemconfig/systemconfig.conf on my golden node after running si_prepareclient. It is simple, as I just append a few well-known lines to the file. But maybe it would be even better, if si_prepareclient was able to do it? (I do not have the full understanding of how si_prepareclient etc works, so I may not be the right person to do it. But maybe adding a few more command-line options is not too difficult? All input is welcome.
