Hi! Using crm shell, you cannot rename a running resource. However I managed to do it via a shadow cib: I renamed the resource in the shadow cib, then committed the shadow cib. >From the XML changes, I got the impression that the old primitive is removed, >and then the new primitive is added.

There was a temporary "active orphan" (the old name) and "Configuration WARNINGs found during PE processing", but that vanished when the states changed (transitions completed). So obviously there is no rename operation for resources. However when you add more and more resources to your cluster, one might find the point where some renaming for consistency might be a good idea. In priniple that could be done online without taking any resource down, but LRM seems to be not prepared for that. Are there any technical reasons for that?
