IP and Host Name changes

P.J. Cruz — Fri, 26 Mar 2004 14:45:31 GMT

I have to change the IP and host name to our L2000 and Rp7400. What is the safest way to do that?

manually, edit

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf

Then restart the server or

/sbin/init.d/net stop
/sbin/init.d/net start

Note that if you have omniback,openspool or oracle running on these servers and the configuration is hostname based, these products will break and need configuration changes to continue running.

/sbin/set_parms is the suggested method.

also make sure the entries for the server in your DNS server is modified accordingly.

Hi,

/etc/set_parms initial

or edit two following files:

/etc/hosts and /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

/sbin/init.d/net stop
/sbin/init.d/net start

hostname new_host_name

Good luck

cp -p /usr/newconfig/etc/rc.config.d/netconf /etc/rc.config.d
cp -p /usr/newconfig/etc/*lan* /etc/rc.config.d

Reboot.

Of course if you have a multi-home system (multiple NIC's) or APA.. then you need to be aware of their conf files as well.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I am coordinating the DNS changes with our Network Administrator .
