SolutionThere's a page on the OpenVMS FAQ which highlights what needs to be changed.

I have done before with a cluster and it was OK, the license DB was the hardest bit. Single nodes are far easier to do, you shouldn't have too many problems.

Re: How do you Rename a VMS Server
All that needs be done is change:
- the SCSNODE
- the SCSSYSTEMID
- the DECnet Node Name
- the DECnet Node number (must equal SCSSYSTEMID)
You will also need to recreate Queues and other things.
It is documented, and I have done it many times without problems.

Re: How do you Rename a VMS Server
SCSNODE
SCSSYSTEMID
DECnet node name
DECnet node address(es)
TCPIP host name(s)
TCPIP host address(es)
Proxy account database?
Rightslist entry
Queue names (usually a case of removing the 'old' ones)
Any node specific names written into command files by product installations (especially look for disc names in the
Licence database for /include nodenames
DECnet and TCPIP databases on other systems
Proxy databases on other systems
As has already been pointed out - there are notes in the OpenVMS FAQ.
In general - be careful and you should be OK. It's not that difficult, but you will need to test everything carefully afterwards. There are quite a few places where the nodename and address get used.
Good luck,
Cheers, Colin.

Re: How do you Rename a VMS Server
If you use sysman startup : node specific startup is possible. Some logins may test node names. Some startup script may test node names. Unless you know all, do your quality control with search.
Hey, since all .com files may test nodes names, search all files on all disks.

Re: How do you Rename a VMS Server
Don't forget that the IP-Config is stored to the Host name!
So if you change the Host name, you have to configure IP again!
