Change name of the repository server

Yes open a case. The best case is EMC will provide a work-around for you or a fix to make the change you want.

If you can keep the IP address and DNS alias there may be a pretty straightforward work-around, but there are a lot of variables which could make this not work.

I can keep the IP and dns alias but they are going to a new naming convention for servers. Do you mean open a case?

You probably need to enter a request in to EMC on this one and have a feeling you are going to be told this is not supported.

Any reason the server team won't let you keep the same name and IP address to make your life easier?

Hi,

As per my information, The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the EMC ControlCenter infrastructure server is kept in the EMC ControlCenter Repository. If the ControlCenter infrastructure server FQDN is modified, it will result in duplicate entries for the server being created in the Repository that cannot be deleted.

EMC strongly recommends specifying host network names instead of IP addresses during ControlCenter installation. By using this approach, when IP addresses change, you will not have to change the configuration of the ControlCenter infrastructure or agents.

It most certainly does not and nor does HF 3322 for ControlCenter 5.2. And as per Nimai, the name is stored in the Repository which cannot be changed.
