Renaming HA Cluster Hostnames

Hi Team,

 

I would like to rename the HA cluster members' hostnames. I plan to do this as below:

 

Primary:

System > settings > Hostname

 

Secondary:

System > HA > Edit > Peer 

 

Is the above plan correct?

Will this cause any impact/downtime on the network?

 

Thank you!

I didn't know about how to do it in GUI for the secondary. But looks like it.


Alternatively, you can get in CLI then
config system global
   set hostname <new_primary_hostname>
end
exe ha manage ?
<id> please input peer box index.
<0 or 1> Subsidiary unit <S/N>
exe ha manage [0 or 1] <admin_user_name>
<password>


config system global            <--- now in the secondary
   set hostname <new_secondary_hostname>
end
end             <--- go back to the primary

end


Toshi
