Hi guys !
Try in this way:
On the Network Engine stop the service
Edit file deamon.policy (in release 3.2.1) or issDeamon.policy (In release 5.0)
Edit "Master_console" by replacing the hostname of the console that actually has
the MasterConsole Status with the new console Hostname
Save it
Restart the service
Hope this help !!
