Changing an HP XP Cluster Extension resource name
When changing resource names, observe the following rules:
• Do not change an HP XP Cluster Extension resource name when the resource is online and
the pair/resync monitor is enabled for the resource. Changing the name when the resource
is online might cause problems with the pair/resync monitor functionality.
Changing the resource name is allowed when a resource is offline, or when a resource is
online and the pair/resync monitor is disabled.
• HP XP Cluster Extension resource names and service and application names must consist of
only one word. The pair/resync monitor cannot interface with a resource or a service and
application that has space characters in its name.
• Do not use the following characters in HP XP Cluster Extension resource names: \ / : * ?
" < > |. Using these characters might affect the creation of the resourcename.online
file, which is used for the HP XP Cluster Extension resource health check mechanism. If the file
creation fails and the pair/resync monitor is not configured, the cluster will report a failed
state for the HP XP Cluster Extension resource.
