Arguments

Table 33: rename zone command arguments
Argument	Description
<orig-name>	The specific, existing name of the zone or subzone that you are renaming. Enter just the name, not the fully qualified name (x.y.z).
<new-name>	New name for the zone or subzone. Enter just the name, not the fully qualified name (x.y.z). Restrictions on the name are: The name cannot be an integer. The name must start with a letter (upper or lower case) and be followed by a letter (upper or lower case), digit, dash or underscore. All zone and subzone names must be unique.

Prerequisites

None.

Description

Renames a specific zone.

NOTE: The hierarchy of a zone cannot be changed. You cannot use this command to move a subzone from one zone to another. To change the hierarchy of a zone, you must delete it and then recreate it with the new hierarchy.

The rename command is designed primarily to correct an error in a specific zone name. To enforce this requirement, the zone name in the command cannot contain dots. The zone name that you enter must be a single zone name, not a fully qualified name.
