Change hostname in Oracle database?

edited Sep 8, 2011 8:31PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered
Hi!
The setup:

RHEL6 (server not part in cluster yet)
Oracle 11.2.0.2

My sys admin have created a alias for the hostname db01 -> tmpprod01

But when I installed I did not set ORACLE_HOSTNAME to the alias. So when querying v$instance, it reports back db01 as hostname.

The server will be moved in to a RHEL cluster in the future, and I am quite sure that Oracle must think its running on the alias (tmpprod01).

Is it possible to change the hostname in Oracle to the alias? Or maybe I dont have to?

Regards
U
