Change display name of the server under Equipment

[azmathulla.shaik]

is it possible to change the display name of the LIVE / PRODUCTION blade under equipment --> Chasis -->Servers to our own naming standards.

Attached is the screenshot of current names.

UCS Manager Version 2.1(3a)

Azmathulla,

It is not possible to change the name of the server, but you can add a label to it (see attached screenshot).  And yes, it can be done during production hours, this doesn't affect the production data.

Please let me know if this answers your question.

You can CLONE the Service profile.

Give it the NEW name.

Disassociate Service Profile from the server.
Associate Service Profile to the server...

This will force your server to reboot

Be aware, that using that method, will pull all new pool identities.  Your server will likely end up with new mac addresses, WWPNs, if vHBAs present, etc.

Current versions (i.e. 4.0) will now let you rename a SP anyway.
