VM Server got a new IP and hostname. How to update VM Manager?

Test environment: VM Server 2.2.1 / VM Manager 2.2.0
The VM Server has a number of virtual machines running in it. It is all on 1 physical machine with local disks.
Our VM Server now got a new IP-address and hostname after physical move. How to get VM Manager pick up the modified VM Server again and pick up the Virtual Machines?
Is this just a matter of 'Delete Server’ followed by ‘Add Server’ in the VM Manager or will I have to configure all Virtual Machines from scratch in that case?
(Could I possibly update the OVS.OVS_SERVER table with the new IP-address and hostname?)
Thanks for any help!
Regards,
Klaas.

Hi Klaas,
not quite that easily, because if you remove a server all information of the images will be deleted as well (just the information, not the images itself!).
So
=> Delete Server
=> Change IP/Hostname
=> Add Server back (with the then new name)
Then you have to import and discover all VMs again.
So go to "Resources" => "Virtual Machine Images" => "Discover" ....
PS: If you changed the hostname/IP already you can use cleanup.py to remove all registration information from the server (not the VMs.)
Then you can register the server again.
Changing the OVS schema table will probably be the easier way... but I don't know if this is supported.
