script for sysman to change ip

[Michael Schulte zur Sur]

Hi,

I need a script to change the ip of an alpha server remote using sysman.
I have read man sysman but do not understand the syntax.

thanks,

Michael

changing it remote will lead to a problem because your network adapter will unavailable during restart... ;-)

Ralf,

I need a script to run with nohup that changes the ip.

thanks,

Michael

Michael,

sysman SUIT is indeed the complicated way, but what about:

rcmgr set IFCONFIG_0 "new.sys.addr.net netmask 255.255.255.xyz"

grep -v "old.address.net" /etc/hosts > /etc/hosts.tmp
echo "new.sys.addr.net hostname" >> /etc/hosts.tmp
mv /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.bck
mv /etc/hosts.tmp /etc/hosts

/usr/sbin/rcinet restart

Johan,

that was a helpful answer indeed.
I wasn't sure, in how many files sysman makes changes.
The only mishap was that it was not interface 0.
But other than that it worked perfectly!

thanks,

Michael
