Update Hostname (Freeform)

SUMMARY You can change Freeform system hostnames from the Topology or Systems view.

Update System Hostname (from Topology)

  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Topology and click Edit to open the topology editor.
    CAUTION:

    Be careful. If you click away from the topology editor after making changes without clicking Save, your changes are discarded.
  2. In the topology editor, click the system to change, then click the Manage selected nodes properties button that becomes available. (You can also open the same dialog by clicking the settings button for the selected system. It's the gear at the top-right of the system.)
  3. Enter the new hostname in the Hostname field.
  4. To close the dialog, click anywhere on the canvas outside of the dialog.
  5. Click Save to stage your changes, exit the topology editor and return to the Topology view. (If you leave the page without saving, your changes are discarded.)
When you're ready to activate your changes, commit them from the Uncommitted tab.

Update System Hostname (from Systems)

  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Systems and click the system name to go to details for that system.
    Note:

    You can also get to the Systems details page from the Topology view. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Topology and select the system to update.
  2. In the panel on the right, in the Devices tab, click the Edit button for the Hostname field.
  3. Enter the new hostname and click the Save button. (To cancel the change, click the gray discard button.)
    The panel shows the values for the active blueprint and the staged blueprint.
When you're ready to activate your changes, commit them from the Uncommitted tab.
