Description

When executing the hammer command

hammer host update {--id ##,--name old-name} --name new-name

The output is:

Could not update the host:
Conflict DHCP records <fqdn>-<mac>/<ip> already exists
Conflict DNS PTR Records <ip>/<fqdn> already exists

There is a relevant bug which has been fixed for REST calls here:
http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/6998

The Foreman GUI issues the error as well but allows an overwrite.

It seems to me that the hammer cli should have an 'overwrite' option exposed so that hosts can be renamed despite these warnings/errors. e.g.,

hammer host update --overwrite true {--id ##,--name old-name} --name new-name
