If you have FreeIPA with DNS support, you also need to update FreeIPA server
A/AAAA records in LDAP. ipa "dnsrecord-mod" command should be able to do that
if you have /etc/hosts set properly.

Besides that, you should be OK with the changes you already requested.
Important thing is that hostname cannot change, which as I understand is not
the issue.

With the changes I described, does the FreeIPA server start and works for you?
If not, please send error messages and we can sort it out.

Thank you,
Martin
