Red Hat Cluster Suite: hostname change during cluster failover / service failover
Issue
We have been asked to support the setup of Red Hat Cluster Suite (RHCS), where the servers hostname
will be changed according to the side the service is running.
The service-start-skript would do the following:
1. change hostname (`hostname <newname>`)
2. change /etc/hosts accordingly (`cp <some shared location>/hosts /etc/hosts`)
3. start the servive
Is this a supported configuration?
