Grass Valley GV STRATUS Installation v.3.1 - Manual (Page 252)

Renaming a GV STRATUS Core/Express server
Before doing this task, make sure you have the following files:
• C:\Grass Valley\Rename SQL Users\ChangeServerName.bat
• ChangeLowResServerName.bat
Also make sure you have a record of the server's network settings and the group/user/role licensing
settings from GV STRATUS Control Panel.
This topic is for renaming a GV STRATUS server that has the role of GV STRATUS Core Services.
The following GV STRATUS servers have the role of GV STRATUS Core Services:
• GV STRATUS Express server
• GV STRATUS Core server
Refer to related topics in this document as necessary to accomplish the following steps.
1. In SiteConfig, change the host name of the server as follows:
a) On the Network Configuration | Devices tab in the tree-view, select the server.
In the Devices list view in the upper right area of the SiteConfig window, the server is
displayed.
b) In the Devices list view, right-click the server and select Edit .
The Edit Device dialog box opens.
c) In the Edit Device dialog box, change the host name.
Make sure that the name you change is the host name and that you update the display name
appropriately. If you change the display name only, it does not change the host name.
SiteConfig changes the name on the server and restarts the server.
2. After the server is started up, in SiteConfig change the GV STRATUS Control Panel Services
Host.
The GV STRATUS Express server or GV STRATUS Core server whose name you are changing
is typically the GV STRATUS Control Panel Services Host.
3. In SiteConfig, save the system description.
4. In K2Config, change the name of the GV STRATUS Control Panel Services Host.
5. On the server you are renaming, in Computer Properties, change the computer name.
6. On the server, run C:\Grass Valley\Rename SQL Users\ChangeServerName.bat .
This makes the necessary changes to the MediaFrame database.
7. If the server is a GV STRATUS Express server, on the server, run ChangeLowResServerName.bat .
8. If the server is on a domain, remove the server from the domain, then add the server back to the
domain.
9. In SiteConfig, re-do the network setup, as follows:
a) Remove the server from the system description.
b) Add the server to the system description.
c) Modify network interfaces.
d) Configure credentials, if not using global credentials.
