<p class="MsoNormal">Got a new RFE (I searched and didn’t find anything like it) for your consideration. The ability to change the name of an existing NSD:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=147125">http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=147125</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We embed information into the NSD name, which sometimes needs to be updated. However there isn’t a way to simply change the NSD name. You can update the NSD ServerList, but not the name. You can remove the NSD from a file system, delete
it, then recreate with a new name and add it back into the file system, but there are obvious risks and serious space and performance impacts to production file systems when performing these operations.<o:p></o:p></p>
