Hyperflex Storage Controller Hostname Change

[jachbr29857]

Is it possible to change or define a user-defined hostname for the Hyperflex storage controller VMs?  I'd like to change it from the system generated SpringPathControllerxxxxxxxxxxx without causing any issues if possible.

Add a reverse DNS entry (PTR record) and the SCVM will do the default Linux behavior of setting hostname from reverse DNS.

(May have to reboot or enter/exit maintenance mode to take effect.)

Do not use improper hostnames (like including an _ character).

This isn't an officially tested/QAd solution, but works.
