Renaming a Lightspeed Server
Each Vantage domain uses the name assigned to the Windows server that hosts the
Vantage domain database as its domain name. When you first receive your Lightspeed
Server, it has Vantage pre-installed with a Vantage domain database on the server. The
domain database uses the machine's name.
If you want to rename your Lightspeed Server and keep the pre-installed Vantage
database, you’ll complete the following tasks to ensure that your database is updated
with the new machine name (detailed steps following):
•
Remove all Vantage services from the Vantage domain.
•
Rename the Windows server that hosts the Vantage domain database.
•
Restart the renamed server and add all Vantage services to the renamed domain.
Note:
To complete this procedure, your Windows user must have permission to
rename the computer, or you must get assistance from your Windows domain
administrator. Be sure to schedule the rename during a maintenance window, as
renaming the Vantage domain interrupts all Vantage services in the domain and all
Windows services on the server are renamed.
Use the following steps to rename a Vantage server and domain.
1.
Start the Vantage Management Console, select the domain to manage, and log on
as described in Starting the Vantage Management Console in the Vantage Domain
Management Guide.
2.
Select Services in the component panel.
3.
Take note of Storage, Variables, and/or Qualification Rules settings for each service
that you have configured.
Write down any Storage, Variable, and/or Qualification Rule settings that you
want to reconfigure after the Vantage domain is renamed.
Note:
When you remove Vantage services from the domain, the Storage, Variable,
and Qualification rule configuration for each service is lost. The rest of the Vantage
domain configuration is retained. If you are changing the machine name during initial
server installation, no custom rules have been configured, so this does not apply.
4.
Click a service in the Services details panel, then press Ctrl-A to select all services.
