Re: Different node display names in GUI and web Interface

["Leslie Clark" <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

On the GUI, take a look at the Object Information. I think you might
find that while the IP Hostname has been update, the Selection Name
has not and is still shown as an address. In that case, on the GUI,
in the context menu for the node, you can do Edit..Modify/Describe...
Object, and use the Selection Name edit button to select the name
rather than the address.

You can find all such nodes by looking at them in a smartset, eg Routers.
Sort that smartset by Name, and you should see those with numeric Selection
Names at the top. Some of those might show actual names as labels, that is,
out of order. Those are the ones that are not fully updated.

Note that when you change the name of a node, the Selection Names
for the interfaces on those nodes is not updated. It will remain
'old nodename':ifDescr, if ifDescr exists, or 'old nodename':address.
Therefore I prefer to rediscover a node after such a change.

I am only guessing that this is your problem. It might also be that
your web client is pointed at a r/o map, or something else altogether.

Cordially,
