System and instance names are assigned during instantiation. You can edit the userdata values that specify these names in the template file you are using during instantiation. Refer to Instantiating SBC SWe on OpenStack using Heat Templates. If you deploy using VNFM, you can set the system name during the instantiation process. The default instance names are set within the VNFD file. Refer to Instantiating SBC SWe on OpenStack using VNFM.

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 instance name as described in the Instance Naming Convention section.
