How to change cluster name

JohnChen — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:27:23 GMT

I know how to change node name by issue

node rename -node old-name -newname new-name.

However, I also want to change cluster name.

What is the cli command?

I got it.

Here is what you need to do.

::>cluster create -license xxxxxxxxxx -clustername new-name

::>hosts new-name

this is for Ontap version8.1.3

or... "cluster identity modify -name"

and to rename a host "system node rename -node currentname -newname newname"
