   <h5>hostname</h5>
   <ul>
     <b>Description:&nbsp;</b> Can be used to override the local system supplied
         hostname without domain the CIM Server is using to build objects.
         If not set, querying this configuration option will report
         the system supplied hostname and behavior is not changed.<br>
         Setting this value to a valid hostname on CIM Server startup or as
         planned value will force the server to assume the configured name as the
         local hosts name. Setting this allows the administrator to set the name
         that operations such as associator, reference etc. return with
         object paths.<br>
         In common setups it is not recommended to explicitly set this value.
        <br>
     <b>Usage scenarios:&nbsp;</b> The following scenarios in which changing the
         default value makes sense are known today:<br>
             1. The case where what the CIM Server shall return to clients for
                host name is NOT the name of the current host but some
                administrator defined name
                (ex. system behind a firewall or some redirector).<br>
             2. Embedded systems that have a system set hostname which is not
                valid and needs to be overridden by CIM administrator without
                changing the actual IP configuration.

     <b>Considerations: </b> When setting this configuration option the option
         fullyQualifiedHostName should be adjusted too.<br>
         Providers returning the systems hostname in an
         instance property might return a different value then the CIM server is
         setting in the object path. hostnames explicitly set into the object
         paths by providers will not be overridden by the CIM Server to allow
         cross-namespace associations.
        <br>
         It is necessary to upgrade existing repositories using the repupgrade
         utility when upgrading from an OpenPegasus version less than 2.12.

   <h5>fullyQualifiedHostName</h5>
   <ul>
     <b>Description:&nbsp;</b> Can be used to override the local system supplied
         fully qualified hostname (with domain) the CIM Server is using to build
         objects.
         If not set, querying this configuration option will report
         the system supplied fully qualified hostname and behavior is
         not changed.<br>
         Setting this value to a valid hostname on CIM Server startup or as
         planned value will force the server to assume the configured name as the
         local hosts name with domain. Setting this allows the administrator to
         set the name that indication operations and the CIM_ObjectManager
         assume for SystemName returned as instance and key properties.<br>
         In common setups it is not recommended to explicitly set this value.
        <br>
     <b>Usage scenarios:&nbsp;</b> The following scenarios in which changing the
         default value makes sense are known today:<br>
