Change DSS hostname

I'd go ahead and make the change right now. You won't be allowed to configure iSCSI failover if both hostnames match anyway.
Keep in mind that DSSv6 distinguishes between the server name and the hostname. Feel free to change them both.

So even though I've already setup volume replication and it has synced (iscsi vol rep) I should still be able to change the hostname of my primary and it won't effect the volume (drbd) side of things?

I can't say for sure, but I believe replication is not hostname dependant. Changing the hostname should not cause you any problems in this regard.

from DSS V6 Manual, page 29

Function: Hostname
Hostname is one of the names used to identify this machine. It is primarily used for internal processes (most importantly, iSCSI failover and volume replication). It is different from the server name in that server name is primarily used for NAS protocols.
Hostname needs to start with a lowercase letter; the other characters may consist of lowercase letters, digits, minus signs and dots.
NOTE It is not possible to change the hostname while the failover service is running.
NOTE Changing hostname requires a reboot.

So is that a Yes I will have a problem? or a No I should be fine?
I DO have volume replication in place and is configured, but I haven't done the iSCSI failover yet.
