# noderename(8) - Rename nodes in the confluent management service

## SYNOPSIS

`noderename <noderange> <newname>`

## DESCRIPTION

`noderename` changes the name of the node or nodes matched by the given noderange to `<newname>`. As with other attribute changes, the rename is applied through the confluent datastore and does not by itself alter the operating system hostname of a running node.

When renaming more than one node, `<newname>` is normally an expression so that each matched node receives a distinct name (see noderange(5) and the attribute expression syntax).

## OPTIONS

- `-h`, `--help`: Show help message and exit

## EXAMPLES

- Rename a single node: `# noderename n1 n2`
- Rename a range of nodes using an expression: `# noderename n1-n4 'compute{n1}'`
