Editing a bare metal server

Use Lumen Connect to edit details (such as the name) for Lumen® Edge Bare Metal servers provisioned for your organization. You can view details for a bare metal server and stop, start, or restart the bare metal server. If you no longer need a bare metal server, you can delete it from Lumen Connect.

To edit a bare metal server:

  1. Click the Servers tab.

    Lumen Connect shows the servers created for your organization with a status and brief summary for each server (name, location, IP address, server ID, and tags assigned to the server).

  1. Click the server name you want to work with to view details for that server.

  1. To edit the name for your bare metal server, do either of the following:

    • Click Edit next to the server name in the Server Details section.

    • Click Actions, then click Edit Name.
  1. Type a name for the server in the New Server Name field, then click SAVE. This change only applies to the name shown in Lumen Connect to identify the server. The original server hostname remains unchanged.

    Lumen Connect edits the server name. When the edit is complete, a success message shows on the Servers tab.
