I have oracle linux guest which is running on windows host. It has application like weblogic, xe database setup. The one with the set up uses the hostname localhost.localdomain, but when I import them to another machine on the office network - it gets a name dynamically.
This is causing the db listener to fail starting up.
Is there a way I can force the vm to continue using localhost.localdomain during start up and not get the name dynamically

Re: Hostname aquired is causing issues on the guest machine
VirtuaBox has absolutely nothing to do with hostnames. It doesn't know what a hostname is. This is something that you would have to configure in your guest and/or your physical network.

Re: Hostname aquired is causing issues on the guest machine
Yes, I agree. Its largely to do with the physical network - the linux machine gets the name from the network dynamically when it connected to the LAN. And since my Oracle XE is installed using some other hostname - it fails to start. I was looking for some help if people have faced similar issues.
