Change IP Address shown on splash screen

I have changed the hostname of a few my ESX servers since I did the original install. The splash screen is not updating automatically however. Does anyone know how I could update this to reflect the current hostname and IP address?

. Is this what you've done?

I changed the name through the VI GUI. the hosts file reflects the proper name.
