Greetings to all,
I am facing an error with Hostname in one of our HPVM server.
Here we can see Hostname and uname -a command's are giving different hostname's insted of same.
# hostname
meccapp106
# uname -a
HP-UX meccapp1 B.11.31 U ia64 1508026702 unlimited-user license
#
I hope everyone understand my problem

Re: HOSTNAME configuration in Unix B.11.31
That's a standard feature to ensure backwards compatibility. You can override if you want by changing a kernel tuneable. All the details, including the things you will need to think about, are decribed in this white paper:

Re: HOSTNAME configuration in Unix B.11.31
Hello jason-dr,
Output of command hostname shows meccapp106 (10 characters) while uname -a shows only 8 of them meccapp1 .
Please change the kernel tunable expanded_node_host_names set to 1, followed by running # uname -S meccapp106.
This will help you get entire 10 characters for uname -a output .
You may refer the document https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=c01925495&docLocale=en_US for details .
