Hello @ronnynch
Your question is "My question is, how do perform the update on SAS itself to reflect the new hostname and IP address? Is updating the information via hostname reference is sufficient?" In short. Well, the part of change in hostnames has to be performed manually by the SAS admin by running the deployment manager. The change in I/P has to be done by the OS Administrator - the windows administrator.
Typical industry practice. As an FYI, Disaster recovery operation are a routine and in a typical DR environment, the restored server has the same hostname as the original. The corporate DNS service takes care of hostname I/P name resolution. In the case I/P's are hard coded in any of the config files, then the config files are updated to reflect the new I/P's. In my experience SAS servers are a part of the corporate IT infrastructure. Therefore, the corporate policies are followed.
