Sun Cluster 2.2 System Administration Guide

Changing the Name of a Cluster Node

The names of the cluster nodes can be changed using the scconf(1M) command. Refer to the scconf(1M) man page for additional information.

How to Change the Name of a Cluster Node
  1. Find the names of the current cluster nodes.

    You can run the scconf -p command on any node that is an active cluster member.


    # scconf clustername -p
    Current Configuration for Cluster clustername:
           Hosts in cluster: phys-hahost1 phys_hahost2 phys-hahost3
           Private Network Interfaces for
               phys-hahost1: be0 be1
               phys-hahost2: be0 be1
               phys-hahost3: hme0 hme1

  2. Run the scconf -h command on all nodes in the cluster.

    Run the scconf(1M) command on all nodes. See the scconf(1M) man page for details.


    # scconf -h clustername hostname0 [...hostname3]

    The new node names should be specified in the order shown by the scconf -p command. For example, to change the name of phys-hahost3 to phys-opshost1, you would run the following command on all cluster nodes.


    # scconf -h sccluster phys-hahost1 phys-hahost2 phys-opshost1
