Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Mike McCune 2017-08-31 21:42:34 UTC 
Document URL: 

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.2/html/server_administration_guide/chap-red_hat_satellite-server_administration_guide-maintaining_a_red_hat_satellite_server

Section Number and Name: Chapter 6. Maintaining a Red Hat Satellite Server

Describe the issue: With the addition of the RFE here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=924383

we need a new section in the Server Admin guide on how to change the hostname of the Satellite server. This new utility will be called 'satellite-change-hostname' and has fairly simple set of arguments:

# satellite-change-hostname --help
Usage: satellite-change-hostname HOSTNAME [OPTIONS]

Example:
 satellite-change-hostname foo.example.com -u admin -p changeme

Options
    -u, --username USERNAME          admin username (required)
    -p, --password PASSWORD          admin password (required)
    -g, --program PROGRAM            name of the program you are modifying (defaults to satellite)
    -S, --scenario SCENARIO          name of the scenario you are modifying (defaults to satellite)
    -d, --disable-system-checks      runs the installer with --disable-system-checks
    -y, --assumeyes                  Answer yes for all questions
    -h, --help                       help

Feel free to reach out to John Mitsch as he is the engineer responsible for this new command and feature.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for raising this bug.

We already have a tracker for this update, which has been assigned and is currently being worked on as BZ#1451564.

I'll close this one as a duplicate, and update that bug so that it is clear that the content needs to be included in the 6.2 z-stream docs.

Kind regards,

Andrew
