Beginning in OES 2 SP3, a cluster rename option is available that allows you to rename a cluster resource. Renaming the resource does not modify the virtual server name (the NCS:NCP Server object).
Your setup must meet the following prerequisites:
This command must be issued from the master node.
The resource must be in the state in order to be renamed.
The new name must not exist prior to the renaming.
Novell eDirectory must be running when you attempt to rename cluster resource.
To rename the cluster resource:
Log in to the master node in the cluster as the root user, and open a terminal console.
Offline the cluster resource that you want to rename by entering
cluster offline resource_name
For example:
cluster offline POOL1_SERVER
Rename the cluster resource by entering
cluster rename <resource_name> <new_resource_name>
For example:
cluster rename POOL1_SERVER customized_name22
Online the cluster resource by entering
cluster online new_resource_name
For example:
cluster online customized_name22
