Hi,

I see some interest on how to change the host name of the machine where
the engine runs (in release 3.1). This is a manual procedure that you
can use to do that:

I greatly appreciated these instructions, however there seems to be some points missing. The links on the landing page (User Portal, Administrator Portal, Reports Portal) still have my old host name in them. I can easily work around this for the time being by clicking the link then manually editing the URL of the failed page. I my efforts to find out where this might have happen, I found 2 places in the database that include the old host name:

option_id.VdcBootStrapUrl

option_id.VirtualMachineDomainName.

I have corrected those and restarted oVirt engine, but the links still have the old address. So, I kept digging and found that there might be references to the old host name in the storage_server_connections table, e.g. ISOs. Of course, that won't affect these links.

Where else might I find references to the old name? Particularly for those links?

Thanks!

Thanks, Juan -- I'm sure this will come in handy!

I've copied these instructions into a page on the oVirt wiki:

I have put in a request for a wiki account and will update this page if I am approved. Please feel free to update before I get to it. =)
