ESXi 5.5 host DNS name

I'm having an issue with VMware Backup & recovery and I was advised to check the ESXi hostname and to my surprise when I connect to the vpshere host and check under configuration > DNS and routing it only shows "localhost". is it safe for me to change that to something more descriptive? I know local host is 127.0.0.1 typically.

Please take a look at VMware KB: Changing the name of an ESX or ESXi host for the steps.
