How can I make a modified host name permanently valid?
The instance name and the host name are specified when you create a cloud server. After the cloud server is created, you can directly modify the instance name on the console, whereas the host name needs to be modified by using the hostname command.
1. Log in to the ECS and modify the /etc/hostname configuration file.
vim /etc/hostname
Modify the configuration file to replace the host name in the file with the modified host name (new_hostname). Run the following command to save and exit the file:
:wq
2. Modify the /etc/sysconfig/network configuration file.
vim /etc/sysconfig/network
Modify the parameter value involved HOSTNAME to replace it with the modified host name (new_hostname).
HOSTNAME = Modified host name
If HOSTNAME does not exist in the configuration file, manually add it and set the parameter value to the modified host name.
HOSTNAME=new_hostname
Run the following command to save and exit the file:
:wq
3. Modify the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg configuration file.
vim /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg
Delete or comment the - update_hostname statement.
Run the following command to save and exit the file:
:wq
4. Restart the ECS.
reboot
5. Enter the username and password to log in to the cloud server, and then run the hostname command to check the host name has been modified.
How do I set the cloud server names in order when creating multiple cloud servers?
The cloud server name consists of the instance name and the host name. The instance name is the displayed name of the cloud server, and the host name refers to the hostname of the cloud server. You can name the instance name and the host name when creating a cloud server.
You can customize the names, but they need to following the naming rules below:
Parameter | Naming Rule | Remarks |
Instance Name | 2 to 63 characters in length. | It can contain Chinese characters, English letters, or numbers. The name can be the same as that of other cloud servers. |
Host Name | For Windows cloud servers: It must be 2 to 15 characters in length and can contain uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (-). The name cannot start or end with a hyphen (-), cannot have consecutive hyphens (-), or contain only numbers. For cloud servers running other OSs (such as Linux): It must be 2 to 64 characters in length and can contain uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (-). You can separate the name into segments with periods (.), but the name cannot start or end with a hyphen (-) or a period (.). The name cannot start or end with a period (.) or a hyphen (-). A newly changed host name requires a reboot to take effect. | The host name cannot be duplicated with that of other cloud servers in the same region. |
When creating multiple cloud servers, suffixes will be automatically added in an orderly manner without any further configuration.
Suppose you create 3 cloud servers in a batch, and fill in the instance name ecmTest and the host name hostNameTest.
Then, the ordered suffix format is:
Instance names: ecmTest, ecmTest-001, ecmTest-002
Host names: hostNameTest, hostNameTest-001, hostNameTest-002
