mc admin name

The mc admin name command and its subcommands manage the cluster name for a MinIO AIStor deployment. The cluster name identifies the deployment in SUBNET registration and other administrative contexts.

If you do not set a cluster name, MinIO AIStor automatically generates one at startup using the format <MythicalCreature><Element> (for example, “GriffinWave”, “UnicornFrost”, “KrakenStone”). The auto-generated name persists across restarts.

You can also set the cluster name using the MINIO_SITE_NAME environment variable. When set with the environment variable, the name cannot be changed with mc admin name set.
