Is it safe to rename a Head Node? (HPC 2008 R2) RRS feed

    Hello,

    Quick question - we have a HPC 2008 R2 Head node which currently has 2 worker nodes configured.

    We've been asked to rename the machine that hosts the head node, is there a document or process that needs to be followed so this can happen smoothly? Or is HPC resilient enough to react to the new name automatically?

    Thanks,
    Rob

    Unfortunately, renaming HN is not supported by HPC.

    Is there any concern to re-install the cluster?

    Installing a three-node cluster should be very fast.

    Thanks for replying,

    Just so I'm clear then - the process should be:

    1 - Uninstall HPC from all nodes

    2 - Rename the HN

    3 - Reinstall HPC to all nodes

    4 - Reconfigure as before

    Is that it?

    Right.
