Changing the System Name of a NonStop System for H-Series RVUs

Changing the System Name of an H-Series Based NonStop
System
This procedure describes how to change the system name of an H-series based NonStop system
that has already been installed. It applies to: NonStop NS1000 systems, NonStop NS1200 systems,
NonStop NS3000AC systems, NonStop NS5000CG systems, NonStop NS5000T systems, NonStop
NS14000 series systems, and NonStop NS16000 series systems.
For instructions on changing the system name of a NonStop BladeSystem, see Changing the System
Name of a NonStop BladeSystem.
For instructions on changing the system name of a NonStop NS2000 series system, see Changing
the System Name of a NonStop NS2000 Series System.
Notes, Cautions and Warnings
CAUTION:
• To avoid a potential problem that can cause the power cycle action to fail on NS16000
Series, NS16000CG, and NS14000 Series systems, install OSM Low-Level Link version T0633
G07 ABK (or later) before attempting this procedure. A workaround is provided in case the
problem occurs before an upgrade of the OSM Low-Level Link is possible.
• If you change the system name or system number on an existing system and are running
complex applications such as NonStop SQL/MP, NonStop SQL/MX, NonStop Transaction
Management Facility (TMF), Distributed Systems Management/Software Configuration Manager
(DSM/SCM), or NonStop Open System Services (OSS), you must reconfigure the applications
with the new system name and take additional precautions to avoid losing access to the data.
Refer to these manuals for more information:
◦ SQL/MP Installation and Management Guide
◦ SQL/MX Installation and Management Guide
◦ TMF Planning and Configuration Guide
◦ DSM/SCM User’s Guide
◦ Open System Services Management and Operations Guide
