Sets hostname and FQDN of the node.
set_fqdn - FQDN to set.
The asterisk character will be replaced with node.name. This way,
you can add to base role this:
default_attributes :set_fqdn => '*.project-domain.com'and have node set its FQDN and hostname based on its chef node name
(which is provided on chef-client first run's command line).
Will set node's FQDN to value of set_fqdn attribute, and hostname to
its host part (up to first dot).
hostname::vmware recipe sets hostname automatically using vmtoolsd.
You do not need to set node["set_fqdn"].
