If your host name is part of your database global name, then you'll have to change the global name.  

SQL> alter database rename global_name to 'SID.HOST';  

Also, if you have db links which have host name as part of their name, then you'll have to recreate the db links.

My boss has decided to change the name of the Sun OS 2.8 host of my Oracle 8i databases.  

Question: how does this name change affect my Oracle software installation and my databases?  

Has this happened to any of you?  

Thanks,  

Carmen Rusu
