All;

We recently decided to change our naming convention. As such I'd like to rename our current availability zone. The configuration files are the obvious places to do so. Is there anything I need to change in the database? Properties of images, volumes, servers, etc.?

Should I just give this up as a bad deal? Maybe rebuild the cluster from scratch?

Thank you,

Hi,

You don't need to rebuild your cluster from scratch. Just, you got to know that instances cannot change availability zone, unless you really go deep into the nova database (and change the nova SPEC there).

I'm not sure for existing volumes.

Unless I'm mistaking, there's no notion of AZ for images.

FYI, the nova availability zones are controlled through the compute aggregate API. The cinder one from cinder.conf in each volume nodes.
