What I want: I have a Host in ovirt which is in status "down" and/or "maintenance". I want to change the hostname/ip ovirt uses to connect to this host. 2. RFEs: 1. This is not possible via webadmin, the address field is grayed out (there seem to be conflicting design patterns for the webadmin, other buttons which don't work don't get grayed out for some reason, instead they throw errors..) 2. make it possible to change the hostname/ip via API

from what I've seen so far I have to hack the database to make this change happen in 3.3.2 Is there any technical reason why this is not possible? ovirt should be happy with the UUIDs for the host and should not bother about the hostname. Is there a way to alter the hostname/ip which I don't know? Could someone point me to the right table and how to alter it without breaking it?

Hi, so you can change the address></address> part of the host via api? I can see the update description in the rsdl it seems this should work, but will this have any effect on the certificates Dafna mentioned?

I just want to change the hosts address which ovirt uses to connect to the host. This isn't possible without changing the certificates (re-deploy)?
