This should already be the standard behavior as long as your nodeadd
contained the short hostname and not the FQDN. What are you seeing on
your end?

We could fix the hostname with a postscript, or perhaps a Kickstart
statement, however we'd prefer to have it done more transparently.
It would be great if we could use something like a regex in
"network.nodehostname="/\z/.nyc.desres.deshaw.com/" to do this
automatically:
[root@drdkvm0003 dump1]# lsdef -t network 149_77_52_0-255_255_254_0
Object name: 149_77_52_0-255_255_254_0
ddnsdomain=nyc.desres.deshaw.com
domain=nyc.desres.deshaw.com
dynamicrange=149.77.53.132-149.77.53.191
gateway=149.77.52.10
mask=255.255.254.0
mgtifname=!remote!
nameservers=149.77.52.53,149.77.52.35,10.232.15.130
net=149.77.52.0
* nodehostname=/\z/.nyc.desres.deshaw.com/*
ntpservers=149.77.52.24,149.77.52.41,149.77.52.138,149.77.52.129
tftpserver=149.77.53.252
But this doesn't seem to have any effect on the DHCP host-name entry
generated in the leases file, or on the "HOSTNAME=develkv8" entry put
in /etc/sysconfig/network after the install.
BTW. We do have the FQDN listed first in /etc/hosts and DNS:
[root@develkv8 ~]# hostname
develkv8
[root@develkv8 ~]# host 149.77.53.121
121.53.77.149.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer
*develkv8.nyc.desres.deshaw.com.*
[root@develkv8 ~]# grep develkv8 /etc/hosts
>>>149.77.53.121 *develkv8.nyc.desres.deshaw.com* develkv8 # row 0
rack 0 rank 0
Is there a transparent way to do this?
Thanks.
