Change the Hostname of the Existing CommServe-MediaAgent Computer

Change the hostname of the existing CommServe-MediaAgent computer and verify whether the computer with new name is available.

Procedure

  1. Perform the name change on the operating system of the existing CommServe-MediaAgent computer.

    Note

    Save the hostname of the existing CommServe-MediaAgent computer because you will rename the new CommServe's computer name to the existing CommServe-MediaAgent computer

  2. Verify whether the computer with the new name is available in the following cases:

    • Verify that the computer is available in the network with the new name. (DNS lookup or other name resolution facilities are appropriately configured to resolve the new name of the computer.)

    • Verify that all applications running on the computer, for example, SQL server, Exchange, Server, and Oracle database, function with the new name. To rename a computer that hosts a stand-alone instance of SQL Server, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143799.aspx.

    • Use ping (or other network connectivity utilities) to verify that the computer with the new name is accessible. Also verify that other computers in the network are accessible to the computer with the new name.
