Can you confirm that you have updated all the locations listed with the correct name "vmware2"?
DNS entries, local hosts file, Host Identification entry in Configuration|DNS and Routing ("Name" and "Domain").
DNS is more often the root of HA failures.
Check DNS servers online, DNS entries, local hosts file, Host Identification entry in Configuration|DNS and Routing ("Name" and "Domain").
Check entries are correct and are in the same case.
Good luck!
My issue is i want to change the hostname from :
vnware2 -> vmware2
I've tried this in the /etc/sysconfig/network, but it hasnt made any difference,
Is there anywhere else that this file needs to be changed.
