Update file device details
Update the administrative contact for a system and its physical location. The overall name of the system can also be changed, which is effectively the cluster name.
If the cluster is a Unified system or if the name is changed, it will take longer for the call to return.
Changing the cluster 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.
