Re: [Users] changing hostname in ovirt
Hi, just to complete this thread. I changed the hostname by hacking the database, which was successful. The complete procedure can be found in this BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1060215 What I don't know/didn't research is, if the certificates really need to get redeployed and/or recreated. So far the host runs fine with the old certificates and the new address in ovirt.

Re: [Users] changing hostname in ovirt
you cannot change a host name after it has been installed because of certificates being installed during host installation.

Re: [Users] changing hostname in ovirt
Hi, so you can change the address/address part of the host via api? I can see the update description in the rsdl it seems this should work, but will this have any effect on the certificates Dafna mentioned?
