Renaming a Node
Nodes in a cluster are automatically assigned node names when you add them to the cluster. My webMethods Server displays the name of a cluster node in the Name column of the Advanced or Clustered Configuration page, and in the Node Name column of the Cluster Status and Control in My webMethods.
You can change the name of the cluster node using the mws update command, as follows:
*To rename a node in a cluster
1. At a command line prompt on the machine that hosts the node, move to the bin directory for My webMethods Server:
Software AG_directory \MWS\bin
2. Change the node name by running the following command:
mws -s instanceName update -Dnode.name=newNodeName
where instanceName is the name of the server instance that corresponds to the node and newNodeName is the new name of the cluster node. The instance name remains unchanged.
The cluster node name is updated in the following files:
*cluster.xml
*Software AG_directory \MWS\server\serverName\config\cluster.node.properties
*Software AG_directory \MWS\server\serverName\config\cluster.node.properties.bak
*Software AG_directory \profiles\MWS_serverName\configuration\custom_wrapper.conf
