RE: System Name

The instructions didn't offer much in the way of cautions, so hopefully it was just a harmless change to the system name. Applying only to lower level machine processors. Anyway, got the info I needed. Thanks

If I understand things correctly, ASM is the HMC, and that name is (AFAIK) only used in the HMC.

The NETA is the iSeries' 'system name.'

Sorry, the obvious CHGNETA

Thanks Paul,

DSPNETA shows the one that displays in ACS ( S###### ), with none pending. The original system name via ASM was a combination of model and serial number just as IBM said it would be. It was there that IBM instructions said I could change it, and I did. Even did an IPL and checked it. So, at some level I changed A system name. Maybe the name in ASM is a lower level system name and DSPNETA show a network ID .

Where do I change the one that shows DSPNETA?

Have you IPLd your system? If you DSPNETA you can see the current system name and the pending system name. Last I knew the Pending becomes Current after an IPL.

Good Day All,

Might anyone know how to get the official system name to appear in the SYSTEM output field on ACS emulation sign-on screens.

I changed the official system name ( via ASM ) from the long combination of various fields to something not so technical. But on the sign-on screen it still shows the S####### serial number ID. Which is neither the old system name or the new one.

Thanks
