Hi Ims,

First check whether the ip is changed successfully.

As per my knowledge, changing the ip in /etc/hosts and restarting the system should suffice, but still its better to have a look at following files for change in the ip:
/etc/nodename : Contains the hostname of the machine
/etc/domainname : Contains the NIS/NIS+ domainname
/etc/hosts : Contains the host to IP database
/etc/hostname : If present, contains the interface name to be matched in
/etc/defaultrouter : Contains the default router IP address
/etc/resolv.conf : Contains nameserver IP and DNS domain name
/etc/nsswitch.conf : Contains database lookup rules
/etc/ethers : Contains ethernet to hostname database
/etc/networks : Contains netname to netIP database
/etc/netmasks : Contains network to netmask database

Regards,
Gangadhar

Hi,
The problem is due to the reason that you have not updated your /etc/hosts file with the new IP address. Once you update it, every things should go through well...

Hi!
Guys are right
You should update your /etc/hosts file with new IP address.
Or use command "set_parms ip_address" it will update /etc/hosts for you.
