Naming or Renaming a Server Complex

You can assign a name for each server complex in order to better identify

the complex as you work with it.

Several commands and utilities display the server complex name as part

of their output and interfaces. For example, some nPartition commands

and Partition Manager list the complex name.

The server complex name only serves as a helpful identiﬁer; changing

the name does not affect the way in which commands and utilities

interact with the complex.

You can use the following procedures:

• Renaming a Server Complex [Service Processor] on page 356

This procedure (Command menu, ID command) allows you to list and

modify the server complex name from the service processor.

• Renaming a Server Complex [Partition Manager] on page 357

This procedure (Complex —> Set Complex Name menu) names or

renames a server complex using Partition Manager.

The server complex name is stored as part of the server’s complex proﬁle

(part of its “stable complex conﬁguration” data).

NOTE Each server complex name has up to 20 characters, which can include

upper- and lowercase letters; numbers; and dashes, underscores, periods,

and spaces (“-” “_” “.” and “ ”).

Renaming a Server Complex [Service Processor]

This procedure (Command menu, ID command) allows you to list and

modify the server complex name from the service processor.

Step 1. Login to the server’s service processor and enter CM to access the

Command menu.
