[chef] Chef-solo, ohai node[:fqdn]

Morning all

I’m altering the system hostname in my base cookbook and using the 
node[:fqdn] in later cookbooks generating configuration data etc.

The problem I get is node[:fqdn] does’t get updated after the hostname 
change. Even tho I do reload ohai after changing. ( I’m using chef-solo )
The second converge passes the tests as the hostname is correct when ohai 
reads.


So my questions are

        Does ohai action :reload work with chef-solo?
        Would node.set[:fqdn] = “new” work from within the recipe changing 
the hostname. Is this hackish ? 
        Are there any alternative methods to get the result I’m looking for?


Appreciate the help
