Document recommendations for hostnames

      Suggestion:
      It would be helpful to document requirements for hostname configurations.

      Perhaps in this document:
      https://docs.opsmanager.mongodb.com/current/core/requirements
      or a troubleshooting section.

      Ops Manager:

      • A resolvable hostname is needed for the Ops Manager application, or wherever a Backup Daemon will be used

      Ops Manager and Cloud Manager:

      • The fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of hosts with Automation Agents, as returned by hostname -f, should be resolvable on the host with the Monitoring Agent
      • When running on AWS EC2 instances, be sure to follow AWS best practices when changing hostnames (here is an example: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/set-hostname.html).
      • Be sure to capitalize hostnames consistently among all hosts with Ops Manager or Cloud Manager components, as well as for MongoDB replica set configurations and sharded clusters.
