How to Rename a Managed Host or Host Group (Web Browser)

Rename only one managed host or host group at a time.

Changing the name of a managed host with the Change Manager only changes how that managed host is labeled in that particular host group.

Changing the name does not change the following:

• How that managed host is labeled in other host groups

• The name by which the managed host is known in the naming service

• The name the managed host calls itself

1. If you are not already in the appropriate host group, see How to Access the Hosts Section and Appropriate Administrative Domain and Host Group (Web Browser).

2. Click the checkbox next to the managed host name or host group name to select it.

3. From the Host Actions menu, choose Rename.

   A page appears that shows the current managed host name or host group name and a field in which to type the new name.

4. Supply a new name.

5. Click Rename to change the name of the managed host or host group in your administrative domain.
