Overview

In some circumstances, it may be necessary to rename a LM node to ensure it holds the correct value. That might happen after a server migration or upgrade, for example.

Incorrect node names may cause licensing and delivery issues in your LM instance.

Solution

To rename a LM node:

1. Stop ListManager's front and back end services.
2. Back up the database.
3. Open a command window and navigate to your LM root directory.
4. Run one of the following commands, according to your Operating System, replacing OldNodeName and NewNodeName with the corresponding values:
   • Windows: lm renamenode OldNodeName NewNodeName
   • Linux or Unix: ./lm renamenode OldNodeName NewNodename
5. Modify the lmcfg.txt file to ensure the $node_name entry is updated.
6. Restart ListManager's front and back end services.
