To rename a domain and service name:

• Stop the domain name that you are renaming.
• Run the following command from the SM_HOME/smarts/bin directory

In this example: ic-am-pm-server is the service name that is being renamed to ic-am-pm-test. INCHARGE-AM-PM is the domain name being renamed to INCHARGE-AM-PM-TEST.

./sm_service show --cmdline ic-am-pm-server

• The result of the command:

sm_service install --force  --unmanaged  --startmode=runonce \
 '--name=ic-am-pm-server' \
 '--description=VMware Smart Assurance Availability and Performance Manager Server' \
 '/opt/IP/IP1019/IP/smarts/bin/sm_server' \
 '--name=INCHARGE-AM-PM' \
 '--port=20003' \
 '--config=icf' \
 '--bootstrap=bootstrap-am-pm.conf' \
 '--subscribe=default' \
 '--ignore-restore-errors' \
 '--output' \
 '--java=maxheapsize=1024M'

 

• Copy the text block starting at sm_service:
   
  

  sm_service install --force  --unmanaged  --startmode=runonce \
   '--name=ic-am-pm-server' \
   '--description=VMware Smart Assurance Availability and Performance Manager Server' \
   '/opt/IP/IP1019/IP/smarts/bin/sm_server' \
   '--name=INCHARGE-AM-PM' \
   '--port=20003' \
   '--config=icf' \
   '--bootstrap=bootstrap-am-pm.conf' \
   '--subscribe=default' \
   '--ignore-restore-errors' \
   '--output' \
   '--java=maxheapsize=1024M'

  
   
• Change both name lines to your desired domain name and service name.
   
  

  sm_service install --force  --unmanaged  --startmode=runonce \
   '--name=ic-am-pm-server-test' \
   '--description=VMware Smart Assurance Availability and Performance Manager Server' \
   '/opt/IP/IP1019/IP/smarts/bin/sm_server' \
   '--name=INCHARGE-AM-PM-TEST' \
   '--port=20003' \
   '--config=icf' \
   '--bootstrap=bootstrap-am-pm.conf' \
   '--subscribe=default' \
   '--ignore-restore-errors' \
   '--output' \
   '--java=maxheapsize=1024M'

  
   
• From the smarts/bin directory, run the above command but put a ./ in front of sm_service
   
  

  ./sm_service install --force  --unmanaged  --startmode=runonce \
   '--name=ic-am-pm-server-test' \

   '--config=icf' \
   '--bootstrap=bootstrap-am-pm.conf' \
   '--subscribe=default' \
