[Spacewalk-list] Client Hostname Change Issue

[Wojtak, Greg (Superfly)]

In my experience, I have had to have been running spacecmd system_rename spacewalk_id new_hostname in addition to rhn-profile-sync

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Client Hostname Change Issue

Hello List,

I have a few clients connected to a Spacewalk 1.6 installation with a Spacewalk Proxy server. I changed the hostname on the client server and ran a hardware refresh. This updates all entries of the hostname except for the system name(web ui) and profile name (in systemid on the client). Is there any way that when I run a hardware refresh that it could also update these two items? If I remember correctly I saw this actually working the way I would like back in 1.2 but it has been a while and I could be mistaken.

Thank you for your time and have a great day!

Regards,
Jeremy
