You can change a node's name as required.

Steps

  1. To rename a node, use the system node rename command.

    The -newname parameter specifies the new name for the node. Learn more about system node rename in the ONTAP command reference.

    If you want to rename multiple nodes in the cluster, you must run the command for each node individually.

    Note

    Node name cannot be “all” because “all” is a system reserved name.
Example of renaming a node

The following command renames node “node1” to “node1a”:

cluster1::> system node rename -node node1 -newname node1a
