Can you Rename the TSM Server

[rallingham]

This is probably basic but I have a customer that has been updated from V55 to V711. The old server was SVR-TSM01 and the new server is SVR-TSM07. When the upgrade finished (to the new box) the old server name was still there (SVR-TSM01) and the customer wants it to be SVR-TSM07. So can the TSM Server be renamed? If so are there any ramifications?
Should I just leave it alone?

You can change the servername, but there are a few things to keep in mind:

Important:
* If this is a source server for a virtual volume operation,
changing its name can impact its ability to access and manage
the data it has stored on the corresponding target server.
* To prevent problems related to volume ownership, do not change
the name of a server if it is a library client.

When changing the name of a server, be aware of the following additional
restrictions:
* Windows clients use the server name to identify which passwords
belong to which servers. Changing the server name after the clients
are connected forces the clients to reenter the passwords.
* You must set unique names on servers that communicate with each
other. On a network where clients connect to multiple servers, it is
recommended that all of the servers have unique names.
