Can I set fqdn for chef nodes?

I have several servers with a custom internal local domain - x.local. So, I have s1.x.local servers, etc. My knife reports fqdn as s1.domain.com. Can I change this without changing the names that the servers think they have? Or do I need to change server names? Thanks.

You can, but it will not remain set for the value you give it.

The FQDN attribute is what is known as an automatic attribute in a chef. He sets Ohai every time Ohai runs.

Therefore, although you can change the value of the FQDN attribute, the next time Ohai starts, it will return the value returned by hostname --fqdn .

Therefore, as stated above, if you want to constantly change the FQDN attribute, you will need to change the host name.
