Re: Change system name

I want to point out that although it's "traditional" to make the SYSNAME, LCLCPNAME, and LCLLOCNAME the same, strictly speaking it's not required. I'm not sure about NWSDOMAIN.

However, the fun and games you will encounter if S,L, & L don't match are not worth the effort of making them different. Ask me how I know!! (:

Example:  IBM help line:  "OK, now SYSNAME and LCLCPNAME are the same, so...."
        Us: "Uh, no, they're different."
        IBM: "They're different??!!??  They're supposed to be the same."
        Us:  "No, they are just -usually- the same."
        IBM:  --silence--
        Us:  "Hello??"
        IBM:  "Uh, hold on a minute-- I need to check with someone else...."

CHGNETA SYSNAME(new-name) LCLCPNAME(same-name) +
                  LCLLOCNAME(same-name) NWSDOMAIN(same-name)

                  You must then re-ipl.
