Change DSS hostname

[Gr-R]

I think what AL is referring to here is the potential to affect replication tasks, and approach it in a safe manner. Always a good thing.
We can be reminded of this enough.....

I would agree, if the volumes are consistant, this isnt going to be an issue as the tasks can easily be recreated with the exact same names, after the change.

This type of change is not going to affect data on drive.

Since this is a Network change (so to speak), several things could be affected (beyond DSS).
I suggest looking at everything involved before making a change in this area.

I need to check on the hostname issue myself.

Just cleaning up from a USB-DOM failure where I moved the DOM from the backup server to the production server. I had some replications running but shut those all down until I could get the new DOM. So I have a functioning production server with a hostname I would like to change. I've had some unintended consequences changing hostnames on Linux machines, so I wanted to triple check.

Not only that, I found out that not only are the DOM's no longer supplied but that best practice is to install to a separate partition. We originally installed with the USB-DOM as the boot device and the RAID as a single volume group 00. Now, because of this failure, we need to install to a real device. I put a single SATA drive in the server, and now the CD boot gives me a warning about something called "fake RAID." What is this, and why is it only on a single drive?

Thanks!

Yes as Gr-R said.

And for the installation on a RAID Array (Storage, HDD, ... ) Did you create two LUNs ? as one should have the size 2GB to install DSSv6 on it, and the other LUN should have all your storage devices size that you can use to store your data on it.

And Do you have a real Hardware RAID or just a Softwar RAID ( or a RAID Controller that is built-in on your mother board ) ?
