Rename a cluster node
Change the name of a cluster node.
Changing the cluster node name will trigger creation of a new self-signed SSL/TLS certificate for the HTTPS management server and (if present) for the embedded SMU. However, if the system has a custom certificate it will not be affected, but you may want to consider updating it to match the new domain name.
