Naming a Cluster

      +
      A cluster can be named, by means of the REST API.

      HTTP Method and URI

      POST /pools/default

      Description

      Establishes a name for the cluster. Either the Full Admin or the Cluster Admin role is required.

      Once defined, the cluster name provides a convenient, verbal reference, which will never be used in programmatic or networked access. The name can be of any length, can make use of any symbols (for example: %, $, !, #), and can include spaces. The name can be changed at any time during the life of the cluster, irrespective of the cluster’s configuration.

      Curl Syntax

      curl -X POST http://<ip-address-or-domain-name>:8091/pools/default \
  -d clusterName=<cluster-name>
  -u <username>:<password>

      The cluster-name argument is a string that is to be the name of the cluster.

      Note that during the process of provisioning a single-node cluster, username and password are required after the administrator has established credentials, as described in Establishing Credentials.

      Responses

      Success returns 200 OK. If a username and password have already been assigned, failure to authenticate returns 401 Unauthorized. If the URI is incorrectly expressee, 404 Object Not Found is returned. If the flag is incorrectly expressed, 400 Bad Request is returned, with an error message such as: {"errors":{"cl3usterName":"Unsupported key"}}.

      Example

      The following example establishes a name for the cluster.

      curl -X POST http://10.144.220.101:8091/pools/default \
-d clusterName=MyNewCluster -u Administrator:password
