Hello,
Recently I’ve been playing with my host naming convention for manageability on my Ubuntu 20.04 based FOG server.
One of the actions I did is to rename the host (e.g. from name1 to name2) using the Web UI. Then I want to revert to name1; and the Web UI popped up with a message saying that the host with name1 already exists. However, looking at the Web UI’s list of host, name1 is not there. I also tried removing name2 from host list followed by re-adding that same host with name1. Unfortunately this leads to the same error message.
I suspect that there’s something in Ubuntu terminal that needs to be manually removed to allow renaming the host (i.e. similar to removing OS images - removing both in Web UI and in Linux directory).
Would anyone know which file to edit? Also, what’s the BKM for renaming host to avoid this problem in the future?
Thanks,
-M
