How to modify the Hostname?

First I have used Ignite-UX to make a bootable backup tape for the whole system!
Second I installation another machine use such tape at the booting stage and without interactive!
So to avoiding the conflict, I need to modify the Hostname and IP address for the second mechine! How can I do?

even I do not know Ignite-UX, it should be simple to change:
first locate all files containing your hostname and/or IP:
  find / -type f -exec egrep 'yourhostname|yourIP' {} \;

(replace yourhostname and yourIP appropriate)

Then edit these files, changing to new values.
Then reboot.

Thank U! I think by this way I can modify the hostname and IP address and ensure the correctness!
