Setting ESXi FQDN as the hostname..

Hi,

I'm trying to set the FQDN as the hostname for ESXi hosts in vCenter.

I have the following command :

$esxcli = Get-esxcli -vmhost 192.168.2.21

$getname = $esxcli.system.hostname.get() | select Fullyqualifieddomainname

Now when I check the variable it has a value that I cannot set as the hostname which is :

write-host $getname

@{FullyQualifiedDomainName=esxi1.v.lab}

Is there an alternate way to this.

Thank You
