Can you try: 
<pre><code id="code-20-38746890-1">hostname -A</code></pre>
</div>


<div>
It does not need to be in /etc/hosts. It can also be in the dns server to get the right entry of hostname --fqdn<br />
<br />
What is in your /etc/hosts and what in your /etc/nsswitch.conf?

Hi<br />
<br />
What is the command to get the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) in SLES?<br />
'hostname -f' is returning me 'localhost', what I want is abchost.corp.com<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
