Is there a way to rename a device that has python services attached without removing the device from the service?
I have tried the following, but my Python service code seems to not like it:
rename devices device originalname newname
rename vpn-environment VPN1 site originalname newname
commit no-networking
Aborted: Python cb_create error. item does not exist (1): No capabilities found for device: newname. Has a sync-from the device been performed?
Is there a way around this without causing a service interruption by removing/re-adding the device to associates services?
I see that this question has been raised before and the recommendation of changing the device name and then "commit no-networking" appears to be the way to go, however my service code seems to be having trouble with this.
How to copy/rename device from cli?
I can do the following, but have an issue with the id-allocator:
- rename device
- remove associated services with "commit no-networking"
- fetch-host-keys and sync-from new device name
- re-add device to services, however because I have a service that uses id-allocator to allocate IDs it may not be assigned the same IDs which will be an issue
Or I could do the following which would cause a service interruption:
- rename device
- remove associated service with "commit"
- fetch-host-keys and sync-from new device name
- re-add device to services
