Because, then the hostnam= e goes back to localhost.localdomain.localdomain and both DHCP & DNS within= our enterprise/production environment ends up assuming that for the hostna= me to IP address reference or record. And it seems that other linux systems= (not the ones I administer; none of my almost 50 systems are effected. Of = those, I have about 5 linux/UNIX based systems attached to the production n= etwork) are going offline because of this. I assume they do not have their HOSTS file configured correctly, but they (= the other administrators) are not listening to me. I have already told them= what to look for, in order to fix the issue on their own systems, but they= 've ended up with this now for the third time. This is because I work for a local government and we have various administr= ators for the various agencies within our County government. I have unplugged my initial physical host from our County network and I thi= nk I'm going to end up bringing up a physical engine host, then work on con= verting that to a VM for a hosted engine. I hope that is going to work. I t= ried bringing up the OVA of the appliance within VirtualBox, but that doesn= 't work. Is there another virtual software I can bring up within a Windows = PC to simply edit the hostname, then export the appliance again? I think the appliance for download needs to be changed to have something ot= her than "localhost.localdomain.localdomain" as the hostname in the hosted-= engine appliance. I downloaded the OVA file from the Jenkins.ovirt.org site= .
