On 5.8, when I run uname -n or hostname, I get non-qualified name. On
5.10, I get FQDN for the same. Is there any setting that can change
the behavior to non-qualified name?

Thanks, P.

Have you compared the /etc/nodename files on 5.8 and 5.10?

They are different: on 5.10, it is fqdn; on 5.8, it is just short
name. I manually edited /etc/nodename on 5.10 to short name; it didn't
help

Is that all you did, edit the file? You didn't reboot or update the kernel
with uname -S?
