Amend Unix hostname

Hi,

Please could someone advise on the following if possible. I have built a unix server, and was given the wrong hostname. I need to amend the hostname to the correct name. And I don't want to rebuild the server again.

I've tried the following to do change :

hostname DTCT-TD3FIXI01A
uname -S DTCT-TD3FIXI01A

rebooted the server and still the server name reverts back to the orginal name ? Would there be something else I would need to run....? to change the hostname permanetly.

regards,

venhart
