Function: Hostname
Hostname is one of the names used to identify this machine. It is primarily used for internal processes (most importantly, iSCSI failover and volume replication). It is different from the server name in that server name is primarily used for NAS protocols.
Hostname needs to start with a lowercase letter; the other characters may consist of lowercase letters, digits, minus signs and dots.
NOTE It is not possible to change the hostname while the failover service is running.
NOTE Changing hostname requires a reboot.
