Changing Name of server

[rocco]

I have a server V440 that has solaris 9 installed last year.
The box is no longer used by my coworker. I would like to rename the server so I can use it for other applications.
I am not changing the IP just renaming it from say

Server Name: Server7
New Name: HotBox7

It must be something simple but I am new to unix.

Thank you for looking at the thread.

Just make sure that server doesn't use SSH to establish connections to other devices, they might not be able to re-connect with SSH once you change the hostname of that server.
