change ucs FI system name

[gdesmo123]

Is it possible to change the already deployed system name on a paired cluster of 6248up fi's? Firmware is 2.2 3b...

Thanks

According to the config guide, this is possible.  

F241-POD-1-UCS-1-A# scope system
F241-POD-1-UCS-1-A /system # set

F241-POD-1-UCS-1-A /system # set name niles

You can also go to to Admin tab> Communication Management (in the filter/drop down) > Management Interfaces > " Virtual IP" field and then change the "Domain Name" which is the third line from bottom to top

If you're relying on the self-signed certificate you may need to regenerate it after changing the system hostname:

scope security
scope keyring default
set regen yes
