Is it possible to rename websphere cluster name?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm not sure if it there is a straight forward method to rename the cluster. May be if you rename, there has to be done many configuration changes.


Please see following links.. might be helpful.

Hi Venkat,

The beauty of WAS is everything is stored in XML files and can be changed as required, after changes are made need to restart the server.

I sucessfully managed to change the cluster name and start cluster with no errors.

1. create a cluster and adding two nodes and 2 servers per node.


2. cluster name as WAS_Cluster


3. now want to change to New_Cluster




1. stop the cluster, dm


2. if server is installed on windows (very easy) search for WAS_Cluster in WAS installation directory


3. you will find some xml files and folders


4. edit each xml file and change to new cluster name and save the file


5. now change the folder names to new cluster name


6. need edit plugin-cfg.xml file in HTTP server and change the cluster name


7. now start dm, nodes and finally cluster


8. oohlaa cluster name has changed.

I am not sure how efficient this method is.
