Re: Node names

Dominic,

I believe that the node label assignment derived from DNS entries only 
occurs when the node is discovered.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong!

In the past I have had to delete the node and then add it back in for 
the node label to be assigned via DNS.
If you have automatic detection configured then you just have to delete 
the nodes and let ONMS find them again.

Sincerely,
Dan
