I have a file /etc/sysconfig/network and in the file is
cat /etc/sysconfig/network # Created by anaconda HOSTNAME=zotac_c7.msgnet.com [root@localhost ~]#
I rebooted and the prompt is still localhost ?
What is the new thing in CentOS 7 to set the host name such that then the prompt is correct also?
Thanks
Jerry
Hi,
Try below command then report.
# hostnamectl set-hostname client.itzgeek.com
If you use this command, you do not require to notify the change in host name. Close the current session and re launch the terminal.
OR
Directly edit /etc/hostname file and reboot.
# cat /etc/hostname server.example.com

Jerry,
That only works if you use the network service and not if you use NetworkManager.
How to set the host name in Network Manager: http://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/centos-how-tos/change-hostname-in-cento...
I know, you don't like it .. neither do I. It is what it is, however.

hostnamectl set-hostname --static c7.msgnet.com
Without the static option, I think it leaves out the periods in the name.
Greetings everyone.
I have some CentOS 7 VMs running on the system for which I just made the inquiry about the kworker problem, and I was able to institute immediate change of hostname by updating the /etc/hostname file.
I have network manager running on the host, as well, and it also has the name populated in this file.
When I make the change in /etc/hostname, it takes immediate effect, and persists across reboots, just as with /etc/sysconfig/network prior to RHEL/CentOS 7.
If my input is out of context, then I apologize for the confusion.
(I have vlans attached to the gigabit Ethernet cable, which is used to service the exposed VMs, and I use the wireless adaptor for all other internet and lan usage, hence my use of network manager on the desktop being assumed to be relevant to this inquiry.)
Respectfully,
Martes G Wigglesworth

Just to clarify...
I have just tested the immediate change taking effect, after reading the page listed in the other reply.
For some reason I was able to see immediate change on my vms, however, now that I try it on the Host, it does not persist.
So maybe when I was setting things up, I actually flashed the vms. (I can't remember, but the change was done, and I immediately typed `hostname` and it appeared to have taken immediate effect. However, this is not the norm, as I have just discovered.)
