Hi, All,

is there any way to change system name on RSX-11M-PLUS without re-SYSGEN?

You could just patch the system. :-)
$SYSNM is where the name is, unless I remember wrong. Check the address in the map, and then ZAP the .SYS image. (And/or open the memory locations on the running system, and change the value.)

Also, DECnet can change the name of a running system.

But no, there is no command that does it for you.

MCR>CON SET SYS NAME=XXXXXX

CON -- Command Syntax error
-- SET SYS<?>NAME=SKNRX2


I think this command works in M+ V4.6 only.

I try it on following:
RSX-11M-PLUS V4.5   BL83

>CONF ID

CON -- CONFIGURE Version   5.000
Task built: 18-MAR-13 22:20:04.1

HRC -- HRC Version 005.000
Task built: 18-MAR-13 22:21:11.1


RSX-11M-PLUS V4.6   BL87

>conf id

CON -- CONFIGURE Version   5.000
Task built: 25-FEB-2013 14:32:57.9

HRC -- HRC Version 005.000
Task built: 25-FEB-2013 14:33:21.8


Both don't work :(
