How to Change the Cluster Name

If necessary, you can change the cluster name after initial installation.


Caution

Caution  -  Do not perform this procedure if the cluster is in an Oracle Solaris Cluster disaster recovery framework partnership. Instead, follow procedures in Renaming a Cluster That Is in a Partnership in Administering the Disaster Recovery Framework for Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.4.


The phys-schost# prompt reflects a global-cluster prompt. Perform this procedure on a global cluster.

This procedure provides the long forms of the Oracle Solaris Cluster commands. Most commands also have short forms. Except for the long and short forms of the command names, the commands are identical.

  1. Assume the root role on any node in the global cluster.
  2. Start the clsetup utility.
    phys-schost# clsetup

    The Main Menu is displayed.

  3. To change the cluster name, type the number for the option for Other Cluster Properties.

    The Other Cluster Properties menu is displayed.

  4. Make your selection from the menu and follow the onscreen instructions.
Example 68  Changing the Cluster Name

The following example shows the cluster command generated from the clsetup utility to change to the new cluster name, dromedary.

phys-schost# cluster rename -c dromedary
