Lab: Configure networking, start/stop/check status of network services, EX 14

LFCS
#1

Hello,

I think that the solution to exercise 14 is wrong. This exercise asks the following:
EX 14: Now, update the transient hostname to the static hostname on this system.

As I understand I should copy the transient hostname value to the static hostname parameter. However, in the exercise solution, the opposite is done:

sudo hostnamectl set-hostname dev-host01

Please, verify this.

Hi @irianleyva

What makes you think that? As can be seen below, the static hostname has been set. If it had done the opposite, then transient hostname would be centos-host

[bob@dev-host01 ~]$ sudo hostnamectl set-hostname dev-host01
[bob@dev-host01 ~]$ hostnamectl 
   Static hostname: dev-host01
         Icon name: computer-container
           Chassis: container
        Machine ID: 34724fe284254893a6b7a1cfc1f2aaba
           Boot ID: c3d2243f762a4369a7114a6ca8bad075
    Virtualization: container-other
  Operating System: CentOS Stream 8
       CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:centos:centos:8
            Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-1089-gcp
      Architecture: x86-64
[bob@dev-host01 ~]$

Hi @Alistair_KodeKloud,

I understand from the exercise order that I should update the transient hostname, not the static hostname. Maybe it’s an interpretation problem since English is not my native language.

I’ll see if the wording can be improved.
