Naming managed resources in a chassis

After a chassis is managed and its compute nodes are discovered, the management software automatically assigns names for the compute nodes. To determine a compute node name, the management software searches these values during the discovery process, and displays the value of the first field that has a value:

1. The text ID of the service processor as configured on the service processor
2. The host name of the service processor, as determined by DNS lookup
3. The IP address of the service processor
4. The Machine Type and Model Serial information of the service processor
5. The Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) of the service processor

To rename any managed resource (chassis, compute node, or network device) that is displayed in the management software web interface, complete the following steps:

1. From the Chassis Manager page, click the chassis that contains the managed resource that you want to rename. The Chassis Map view opens.
2. In the Chassis Map, click the managed resource to select it; then, click Actions > Rename. The Rename window opens.
3. Type the new name for the managed resource and click OK.
