change host name

[aiea96701]

seems to me that there was a way to change the ESX host name.   Can anyone tell me how this is done?

goto command prompt

Using a text editor, change the name and domain name, if applicable, of the host in the following files:

/etc/hosts

/etc/sysconfig/network

Execute this command where <hostname> is the new hostname for the ESX host:

esxcfg-advcfg -s <hostname> /Misc/HostName

Reboot the ESX host.
