[ovirt-users] Change host names/IPs

[Davide Ferrari]

Well, actually I want to migrate both DNS hostnames and the subnet (from a
/24 to a /16) to which the ovirtmgr interface is connected.
The second change is the most problematic as you say..in any case what
would be the best procedure, even if it implies downtime?
