Operating Systems AIX Chdev hostname change is not permanent Post 302925762 by gull04 on Wednesday 19th of November 2014 08:27:19 AM

Hi,

Then I think you'll have to ensure that the DHCP ticket (lease) has the correct format, or you could just run;

Code:
smitty hostname "newname"

Once the server is up.

Regards

Dave
