I tar up my sites that I wish to rename. I perfrom an hcisiteinit with the new site name. I then copy my tar file to the new site directory. I then untar the tar file. I have not taken my site down as of yet. I then edit the NetConfig file to make any necessary changes by using search and replace to rename processes or groups to conform to your new naming convention. I also do this for monitor default view and any alerts in the default alert file to conform to new name. May alos need to check tclprocs that may have hard coded paths.
One the modifications are complete, I would then stop the old site and start the new site.
