I am configuring WSFC and while doing it, I gave cluster name with more than 15 letters. As per below links only 15 letters cab be given to computer/host name.

Below image shows the screen where I am entering the cluster name with more than 15 characters.
After configuration, I can see the cluster created with name as shown below. It has 16 letters.
Looks good, but if I see the LOG file, I see CN name is truncated to 15 characters!!! as shown below
CN = MSFSQLDEVCLUSTE;
So my question is, can I ignore this ? will it affect me in future? If yes, how can I edit the cluster name? Do I have to delete and recreate with new name?
Found a link for recommended way. https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askcore/2010/01/11/deleting-a-cluster-resource-do-it-the-supported-way/ It suggest to use the command as shown below
CLUSTER.EXE Cluster res “MSFSQLDEVCLUSTE” /delete
OR
Powershell Remove-ClusterResource “MSFSQLDEVCLUSTE”
Is I am going in right direction?
Many Thanks Deepak
