I agree, I don't think it is supported. I think I can make it work using the
solution I outlined, but that doesn't appear to be working according to the
documentation.
Looking for verification of what I'm trying to do, confirmation that the
envlist files are still parsed (it appears they are), and/or suggestions.

The way I read it, this was a design suggestion for a future version of xCAT;
it is described as a low-priority item. It may not yet be implemented.

Using this as a reference:

Currently, we have n1…n10 configured in xCAT. These are internal hostnames. All
of these hosts have external "public" IP addresses, and the desire is to have
the hosname match the public name.
Short of setting up DNS for the public IPs, which I really don't want to do
since there will be an external DNS server w/ that info, I thought I could use
an unused table.field (prodkey.key) for a <profile>.envlist file. So I have:
ls -la /install/custom/install/rh/x86_84/chum.envlist
prodkey,key,,NEWHOST
(NOTE: I have also tried this in /install/custom/install/rh/)
lsdef n1 | egrep 'profile|post|productkey'
postbootscripts=<snip>,chumhostname
productkey=rabidgator1.floridaman.arrr.edu<http://rabidgator1.floridaman.arrr.edu>
profile=chum
cat /install/postscripts/chumhostname
hostnamectl set-hostname $NEWHOST
When I try this with updatenode, it doesn't appear to be grabbing the info from
that envlist file. Is this feature still in use? If not, what's a recommended
way to set a different hostname?
