Hi,
I have setup three HPC 2016 head nodes in a high availability cluster using the online MS documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/high-performance-computing/step-2-deploy-the-head-node-or-nodes?view=hpc16-ps
By default the cluster connection string is setup by the installation wizard to be in the format of:
servername1,servername2, servername3
In order to connect to the high availability head node cluster, one of my work applications is able to connect to the head node cluster using the cluster name e.g. servernames separated by commas.
However, another application designed in house by my company is not able to connect to the Head node cluster name. It can only connect to the "active" head node in the cluster. I think this may be due to the fact that the head node cluster name
has commas in it so our software cannot connect to HPC head nodes using that cluster name.
To resolve this I would like to see if I am able to change the clustername to something other than the default (servername1,servername2,servername3) to something user defined that is much simpler (for exampe, HPC-Cluster1).
Is it possible to rename the HPC head node cluster name (or connection string as I think it is also called) to something that doesn't have commas in it?
Thank you,
Scott G
