    Notes

    • A valid Hostname must meet these requirements:
      • Can contain only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.
      • Must begin and end with either a letter or a number.
      • Can have a maximum of 32 characters.
    • What you're actually editing here is only the <uniquename> segment of the overall DNS name (the complete DNS name uses the following format: <uniquename>.<accountsubdomain>.skytapdns.com). For more information about these different sections of the DNS name, see How does Skytap generate the VM DNS name?
    • This hostname applies to only the public-facing, Skytap-managed DNS name. To edit the VM hostname on the private network, see Editing a VM hostname or primary IP address.
