Renaming a sybase instance


Hi,
I have several production servers where I have to rename the
sybase instance(long story). Some on windows and some on unix.

What would be the cleanest way to rename the servers?

I'm thinking that I could bcp out the syslogins, sysloginroles,
syssrvroles, sysusages, sysdevices, syssegments.

For windows then I could use sybatch with a resource file to rename the
server and then bcp data back in.

For unix i could use srvbuildres and then bcp in the data.

I haven't done anything like this before so any advise is welcome.

Thanks,
H
