hostinfo_replacevalue

Replace an existing value with another in the hostinfo database:

% hostinfo_replacevalue [-k][--all] key=value newvalue [host...]

• Replace any key that is set to the value with a newvalue
• If you specify the -k flag, it will tell you what it is going to do but not do it
• This is generally for making a change like, for example, we are changing the name from ‘v100’s to ‘sun_v100’s now - so hostinfo_replacevalue –all hardware=v100 sun_v100 .
• If no hosts are specified then all hosts will be affected but you have to specify the --all flag to prevent accidents
• You should try to avoid having spaces in values as the make using hostinfo from the command line more difficult.
• Everything will get converted to lowercase.
