Changing a Cluster Name

Change the name of an existing cluster if you want to use the Sybase Relay Server Hosting Service and the cluster name contains nonalphanumeric characters. Alternately, you can reinstall Sybase Unwired Platform and define the cluster name in the installer.

When you install Unwired Platform, the cluster name defaults to your computer name, and the names of servers in the cluster are based on the cluster name. If a cluster name contains characters that are nonalphanumeric, you cannot register the cluster or its servers with the Sybase Relay Server Hosting Service.

For each server in the cluster:

  1. Shut down Unwired Server and the UAF Agent.
  2. Change to the Unwired Server installation directory; for example, C:\Sybase\UnwiredPlatform-1_2\Servers\UnwiredServer.
  3. Remove the server from the current cluster by running:
    updateProps.bat -x
  4. On the initial Unwired Server installation machine, shut down the SQL Anywhere database.
  5. Run:
    mlservice remove
    uadbservice remove
    wdservice remove
    createdsn remove
    rsoeservice remove
  6. Use a text editor to open sup.properties, and set these property values:
    • cluster.name = <new cluster name>
    • cluster.version = 1
  7. Run:
    config.bat
  8. Edit \UnwiredPlatform-1_2\UAF-2_6\plugins\agent_plugin.xml, and change the name of the cluster to the new name.
  9. Restart Unwired Server and the UAF Agent.
