To modify an onQ Appliance’s network settings:

Renaming of onQ is rare, but there are circumstances that might require that you to do so:

•	Your company name or location changed, and your host name needs to realign with this new identity.

•	You initially deployed one onQ, and now you’re adding another.

•	You are replacing your onQ Appliance so as to upgrade the hardware. There cannot be two onQs with the same name. In this case, you would have two onQs with the same name until after the data from old onQ Appliance migrates to new onQ Appliance.

In the case of an agent‑less PN enrollment, if you need to rename your onQ, do one of the following:

•	If you have only one PN: (1) From the onQ Portal, delete the PN, choosing to retain ...the associated data from the repository and corresponding RN.... (2) Rename the onQ. (3) Re‑enroll the PN, then activate as outlined in Step 8 of (Agent‑less Linux/Windows PNs) Enroll protected nodes.

•

If you have multiple PNs: (1) Rename the onQ; (2) On each ESXi/ESX server, delete from disk all PN proxies that use the old onQ host name. (3) Reinstall the PN proxies using the PN enrollment process as outlined in (Agent‑less Linux/Windows PNs) Enroll protected nodes, selecting the Reinstall check box instead of the individual PN check boxes, which are greyed out because they are already enrolled.

1.	Log on to the onQ Appliance’s onQ Portal.

2.	Go to APPLIANCE CONFIG tab > onQ (LOCAL) page > MODIFY button.

The Modify Local onQ Setup page appears:
