I don't see how you can chnage what name NetView reports unless you
override DNS.
Yout TEC people should live with the fully qualified name.

Subject: [NV-L] TEC and Hostname
Hello all,
I'm having the TEC group wondering if there is a way to use the short name
instead of the fully qualified name on events received from Netview (as
shown in the below)
OV_IF_Down;
hostname=<fully qualified name>
My initial response is that NetView is only reporting what is in the DNS.
The only way I see solving the problem is using the /etc/hosts file but
this
is really not a viable option when your talking about a large number of
devices.
Does anyone have any suggestions for this?
Thanks,
Scott
