You can modify a cluster's attributes, such as the cluster name, location, and contact information as needed.

About this task

You cannot change a cluster's UUID, which is set when the cluster is created.

Steps

  1. To modify cluster attributes, use the cluster identity modify command.

    The -name parameter specifies the name of the cluster. Learn more about cluster identity modify and the rules for specifying the cluster's name in the ONTAP command reference.

    The -location parameter specifies the location for the cluster.

    The -contact parameter specifies the contact information such as a name or e-mail address.

Example of renaming a cluster

The following command renames the current cluster (“cluster1”) to “cluster2”:

cluster1::> cluster identity modify -name cluster2
