Rename SQL Server 2008 R2 Cluster Instance Name

  • I have a Sql 2008 cluster with SQL network name as bbmnet but the cluster name is bbmnetsql , now the users are able to connect to sql using bbmnet only but we want to change it to bbmbetsql so that both sql network name and clustername will match , please help with the steps this is a 2 node cluster.

    I Found the steps for changing clustername to bbmnet instead of bbmnetsql , but we want to do it vice versa please help with the steps.

    Thank you very much in advance for looking into the query !

  • The Windows cluster name and the sql server virtual network name have to be separate unique values

    I am saying sql cluster name.

    Ok, are you referring to the sql cluster group name in failover cluster manager?
