Centos 6.4 hostname is not correct

I currently have a problem with hostname and fqdn.
I use:

# cat /etc/redhat-release ; uname -r
CentOS release 6.4 (Final)
2.6.32-358.11.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64

# hostname
srv1.devel.test.com

# grep HOSTNAME /etc/sysconfig/network
HOSTNAME=srv1.devel.test.com

# cat /etc/hostname
srv1

# cat /etc/domainname
devel.test.com

but

# hostname --fqdn
devel.test.com

As I think it should give: srv1.devel.test.com. Have you got similar problem? Any hint how to solve it?

How to shut down a fedora 20 virtual machine?

I am currently running RHEL 6.5 on a 64-bit laptop, and installed a new fedora 20 VM using the Virtual Machine Manager -- seemed to work fine, f20 came up, looks good, but now i want to shut it down, so from the f20 console, I selected "Virtual Machine" -> "Shut Down" -> "Shut Down".

Where it *looks* like the VM shuts down, but the VMM window shows "f20 Running"

Should I expect a different result? I was expecting the VMM window to show that that VM was Stopped or something.
