Raname VSX Cluster

Anthony_Kahwati — Fri, 14 May 2021 09:13:50 GMT

I've typo'd the main VSX cluster object name (the one that contains the two members).

I can't find a way to rename it. Is it possible?

If I delete it do I then delete the VS that is built within it or is there a way to preserve that somehow?

Many thanks

See sk120266: Not possible to change the name of Virtual System / Virtual Switch / Virtual Router in VSX for details!

Thank you

I assume that if I delete the parent object (VSX Cluster) I lose the child objects (VS's)?

No way to preserve them and them import or something like that?

It's very early stages so I am lucky to be honest!

Hi @Anthony_Kahwati

You must recreate the VSX cluster and the new VS's.

A solution:

1) Move all VS to one VSX gateway.
2) Install a new VSX cluster with a single gateway (Gateway that has become free!) with a new name.
3) Disconnect all network cables from the new VSX cluster gateway (except for management).
4) Re-create all VS on the new VSX cluster gateway with a new name.
5) In the maintenance window:
- Disconnect all network cables (or disable switch port) from the old VSX cluster gateway.
- Connect all network cables (or enable switch port ) to the new VSX cluster gateway.
6) Take the second VSX gateway to VSX cluster.
7) Distribute the VS systems on the new VSX cluster.

Thanks both

I'm going to just delete and re-create. There isn't that much on them.

This is surely the best possible way to resolve it 8)

Thanks Heiko

I don't have easy access to the DC though and given they are still in early build stages it's quicker remove and add again 🙂
