SYNOPSISsetuname [-t] [-n node] [-s name]
DESCRIPTION
The setuname utility changes the parameter value for the system name
and node name. Each parameter can be changed using setuname and the
appropriate option.
Either or both the -s and -n options must be given when invoking setu‐
name.
The system architecture may place requirements on the size of the sys‐
tem and network node name. The command will issue a fatal warning mes‐
sage and an error message if the name entered is incompatible with the
system requirements.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-n node Changes the node name. node specifies the new network
node name and can consist of alphanumeric characters
and the special characters dash, underbar, and dollar
sign.
-s name Changes the system name. name specifies new system name
and can consist of alphanumeric characters and the spe‐
cial characters dash, underbar, and dollar sign.
-t Temporary change. No attempt will be made to create a
permanent change.
