Warning:  Changing the SVC node name causes an automatic IQN update and requires the reconfiguration of all iSCSI-attached hosts. 

## Renaming sites 

The SVC supports configuration of site settings that describe the location of the nodes and storage systems that are deployed in a stretched system configuration. This site information configuration is only part of the configuration process for enhanced systems. The site information makes it possible for the SVC to manage and reduce the amount of data that is transferred between the two sides of the system, which reduces the costs of maintaining the system.
