Changing the display name of a host

Use this procedure to change the display name for a host in the grid. When you installed the grid (and when adding a scale-out host), you provide a name for the grid that then appears in various management tools. However, at a later date, you may want to change the name, especially if the name no longer matches what you use the host for. Note that changing the display name of a host does not change the name in the configuration, it simply creates an alias for display purposes.

  1. Navigate to the Configuration Manager.
  2. Click on the Grid Configuration link.
  3. Click on the Hosts link.
  4. Click on the link for the host you want to rename.
  5. In the dialog box, specify a new name and click Save to close the dialog box.
  6. Save the configuration by clicking the Save button in the upper left corner of the page.
