What Do I have to take care of if needing to rename the pbs hostname ?

Is there anything to pay attention to as the device has qdevice installed and is acting als quorum for the two Clusternodes?
 
Can I just remove the qdevice, rename it and add it again or are there other things that could break ?
 
As nobody replied I just took the try and error approach and removed qdevice from cluster by:
Code:
pvecm qdevice remove
then changed the name by editing /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts followed by a reboot.

Finally re-added the qdevice by issuing
Code:
pvecm qdevice setup ip.ad.dr.ess

Seems to have worked as intended. I still can access files from backup and I can also still create new backups to the pbs Backup.
