We have cold installed a server with 11.00 and have given it a 10 digit host name. We can execute the hostname command and it will return the name. We are having trouble running SAM in certain areas. It will prompt us for a hostname, and then will not allow us to put in the new name.
If I use the uname -S command, it states the host name cannot be longer than 9 characters.
We have changed the param.h file to MAXHOSTNAMELEN = 64.
If this is the place to specify the hostname length, how is the file executed or when in the boot cycle is it read. We were unable to find a kernel parameter to change host length.
