Environment: Standalone Symantec OpsCenter Analytics 7.1.0.3 running on Windows 2008 R1.
Can the OpsCenter server be renamed? We have to decommission an AD domain in which our current OpsCenter server resides. So, effectively the FQDN will change. It would also be nice to change the short name at the same time, in order to comply with our new naming standards.
Has anyone done this before? I cannot find any reference to this in the documentation, tech notes or Connect.
I will probably open a case on this to be sure.
Solved! Go to Solution.

As Symboy Stated - The OpsCenter Database is independent of the hostname.
And you will want to make a backup of your current OpsCenter Database to migrate to the new host.

Sorry, not really sure but I recently moved my OpsCenter server from Windows to Linux (whoel new server, different name) and simply used the dbbackup script to backup the database; copied the files and restored them onto the new server with no issues whatsoever. DB engines often get installed with the server name pretty well hardcoded into them.
It might be you have to backup the DB; then uninstall, change server name and re-install and them re-import the database.
Maybe upgrade the server hardware instead; pre-build it with software installed, then move the DB over (like I did).

Opscenter database is independent of hostname .
Only problem you might have in case if you have made some host files entried , or having OC server name in the bp.conf ( Unix ) or Host properties ( Windows ) .
