Use the `set`` ``prompt`` `command to change the prompt to the host name, user@host name, host IP address, or user@ host IP address. Note that the prompt displayed in the command line interface (CLI) can be set only on the active Grid Master node. Once you execute the `set` `prompt`` `command, the prompt displayed for all Grid members is set accordingly and you can see the prompt when you log in to the CLI for each Grid member.
