Change FQDN in ephemeral nodes

Is there a way to change the fqdn name without deleting the node and recreating it? When I do a modify ltm node myserver fqdn { ? and then a question mark I only get options to change the "down-interval" and "interval". The GUI also doesn't seem to let you change the name field.

 

ltm node myserver { fqdn { name myserver.mylocalnetwork } state fqdn-up } ltm node myserver-10.10.10.100 { address 10.10.10.100 ephemeral true fqdn { name myserver.mylocalnetwork <= This name here } }

    1. Rename your node with below command

    tmsh mv ltm node (original_node_name) (new_node_name)

      Thanks for the response. I actually ended up creating a new node as I wasn't sure what the impact of this solution was in regard to forwarding traffic.
