    It will lose HA connectivity & both device will work as Active-Active and that cause traffic disruption.

    While changing device name, you need to reset device trust & rebuilt DSC group once again. I have followed same process which has given in article.

Hi guys

 

I think first we need to ask if he rly needs to change only hostname or device name .. I tried this last week and when i changed hostname from gui everything was ok but i needed to change name also and THAN HA failed like guys above are writing ... i changed hostname from cli .

Imo yes . But it would be good to make it in lab also to be sure . And u can always ask tac support of F5 . In my option it worked ... So it would be good to have also another opinion on that .
