Changing Hostname Created An Issue

[Guillaume Soucy]

Hello,

I changed the hostname of one of my Proxmox hosts but in the webGUI, i still seeing the old one additionally with the new one.

If I put back the old hostname in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts and reboot, it appears only once and the VMs can start.

This screenshot is showing when the new hostname is written in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts



VMs are appearing with and question mark "?" as well.

Thanks,

Guillaume

Please especially have a look at the "Cleanup" section, as renaming a non-empty node is not recommended and needs additional steps.
