Renaming a registry server host

When you rename a registry server host, you must reconfigure all of its clients to use the new name.
Rational® ClearCase® client hosts cache the name and IP address of their registry server host. If you rename the registry server host, you must change the registry server host assignment for each client host, and then stop and restart Rational ClearCase on each host to replace the cached registry server host name with the new one. To rename the network’s registry server host:
  1. Stop Rational ClearCase on each client host.
  2. Rename the registry server host. (Use the tools that the host’s operating system provides.)
  3. Change each client host’s registry server host assignment, as described in Defining a Rational ClearCase registry host, to specify the new name of the registry server host.
  4. Restart Rational ClearCase on all hosts.
