Hi

Configure the /etc/hosts file, add hostname to the hosts file

#vim /etc/hosts

XX.XX.XX.XX(ip add)          fqdn                hostname

And also check the configuration file /etc/yp.conf, NIS Server also needs to be set up as a client. Edit the /etc/yp.conf file and add the following line:

# vim /etc/yp.conf

domain DOMAIN-NAME server 127.0.0.1

(or)##any one of these##

ypserver 127.0.0.1

Hey @Jagamohan_Mohapatra!

It is as @raghuu pointed out. You have to edit the /etc/hosts file in order to set the name of the server. This is for Domain Name Server resolution, but it is not a DNS exactly. Just for local resolution.

In the oder hand you can also execute the following command line to change the hostname:

# hostnamectl set-hostname (Server's name)

Example:

# hostnamectl set-hostname rhcsa.domain.com

Hope it helps you!

You need to edit common /etc/hosts file instead of it
Add the following line there:

127.0.0.1 your-server-name
