<p class=MsoNormal>Hi Guys<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is this possible? I have just renamed a device as per the
FAQ, and it has successfully kept all the revision history etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We also have some firewalls that have been removed, but
would like to keep the data, is it possible to follow the same procedure for “renaming”
a device, and keeping the history as it is for moving between groups? For instance
if I did:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Personally I cannot see anything wrong with this (not sure
about the need to run the second command, but thought that since I’m changing
both groups, that would be wise), can anyone see any possible pitfalls with
doing it this way?<o:p></o:p></p>
