Update CW with device hostnames

[Michael Kaciuba]

Hello All,

We have a few hundred devices in cisco works and are currently going through a name changing exercise. We have been updating the hostnames of the devices on the actual devices but as we are discovering this does not filter through to Cisco Works. Any idea how I can do a bulk update to get all the names in Cisco Works to match our Cisco device hostnames?

Thanks,

Mike.

You can do this with Discovery provided Discovery can automatically determine the proper hostname.  See https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-9005 and more specifically https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-9005#IP_and_Hostname_Updates_To_DCR on how to make sure DCR gets updated with the correct hostname values.
