Since domain names and host names must match, you have to do a wee bit of work before issuing the domain_rename command.

  1. Update host information

    1. /etc/hosts

    2. /etc/nodename

    3. /etc/hostname.${interface}

    4. Any routing information

    5. Any name service information

  2. Shutdown the domain

  3. domain_rename -d ${old_name} -n ${new_name}

  4. domain_switch ${new_name}

  5. bringup the new domain.
