Changing the hostname of a Master
Changing the hostname of a Master is equivalent to pointing Slaves to a new
Master.
When you point a Slave/Standalone to a new Master, DCR checks whether the
new Master has the same Domain ID as the current machine.
If Domain ID is the same, DCR displays an error message saying that Master
cannot be configured since the new Master has the same Domain ID.
In this case, you need to convert the Slave to Standalone, and then register the
machine with the new Master.
On re-registration, the applications on Slave will clean up the device list.
When you change the host name of the current Master, you need to change the
Slave's mode to Standalone, and then re-register the machine as a Slave by
providing the new Master hostname. However, when the machine is re-configured
as Slave, the applications will clean up the device list.
Let us say we have a Master M and Slave S. If M's hostname is changed, the Slave
S has to be made standalone. Then it has to be re-configured as Slave of M. But
when S is re-configured as Slave, the applications on S will clean up their device
lists.
Therefore, you have to be aware of the fact that while changing the hostname of
a Master, an application data is cleaned up on all Slaves.
