System Naming Convention

The system name is used in billing, external PSX queries (if applicable), and system logs. On an HA system, one system name applies to both units and each unit has its own instances as described in Instance Naming Convention section.

The default system name is vsbcSystem. An example system name is WFDSBC01, where:

The first three letters represent the physical location of the system (WFD = Westford).
The second three letters identify the system type (SBC).
The last two digits identify the SBC (or SBC pair) instance at this particular location.

The following table lists system naming convention to follow while setting up SBC SWe systems:

Convention/Character	System Name	Use as Leading Character	Use as Trailing Character
Maximum number of characters	26	Use as Leading Character	Use as Trailing Character
Letters [ a-z ] \| [ A-Z ]
Digits [ 0-9 ]
Hyphen [ - ]
Period [ . ]
Underscore [ _ ]
Other special characters

Changing Default System Name

To change the default system name, provide the customization script in the Post-Creation tab of the Launch Instance. For more details on the Post-Creation tab, refer to Installing SBC SWe on Virtual Platforms.

language	none

{
  "SystemName" :<custom system name>"
}

Hostname/Instance Naming Convention

The default name of instance are "vsbc1" and "vsbc2". You can only modify instance names while instantiating.

If you are providing an instance name, the instance must be configured with the same name and used for all accounting, logging, PSX and EMS communications. Instance name is specific to an instance.

The following table lists hostname/instance naming convention to follow while setting up SBC SWe systems:

Underscore [ _ ]²
Other special characters

¹The period is typically used to specify a fully qualified domain name.

²The underscore character ‘_’ is not allowed in either the local hostname or peer hostname because it is not valid for SIP URI and TCP/IP host naming.

Changing Default Instance Name

To change the default instance name, provide the customization script in the Post-Creation tab of the Launch Instance. For more details on the Post-Creation tab, refer to Installing SBC SWe on Virtual Platforms.

Checking Server Name using CLI

To know the server name, execute show table system serverAdmin. In the below example, vsbc1 is the server name.
