The cluster name specifies which data is to be used in the replicated database.
Follow this process to change the cluster name in order to retain the data associated with the previous
cluster name. e.g. when a new X6.1 VCS cluster is being created and the FindMe accounts are to be
carried across from the Master Cisco VCS to the new cluster.

Set Cluster name to be <Cluster name of the cluster being created>, where <Cluster name

Note:
If transferfindmeaccounts is executed on multiple Cisco VCSs with different <current Cluster

accounts from each of the Cisco VCSs will be merged into the new <Cluster name of the cluster

If a whole cluster is having its cluster name changed, the transferfindmeaccounts only needs to
be run on the master Cisco VCS.

If a Cisco VCS cluster has its name changed, go to Cisco TMS and select the Master Cisco VCS,
select the clustering tab and ‘Cluster name has changed’ should be reported. Select ‘Update
