How to rename an application server in WebSphere Application Server 6.0.2.23

Question

We are repurposing an application server running WebSphere 6.0.2.23. I would like to rename the various application server to better reflect its new role.

How can you rename an application server?

It seems like wsadmin can do it, but I'm struggling with the object hierarchy.
