We are removing a machine from our cluster and wanted to rename others. Should we remove the machine from the cluster when connected or can it be done when it is offline? Also I found some links to rename the hosts but what is the good way to do it without reinstalling and resetting the licenses?
 
It's a hassle if not impossible to rename a cluster member. I would go for a reinstall.
damned... It seems my plane to name nodes hv01...hvNN was not that smart when you remove the first one ... Thanks for the info.
