Hi,

run

#set_params

it is menu driven util, using which you can set

hostname
IP Addess / Subnet
default gateway

Siva.

Hello,

You can run the command "set_params" to setup hostname and IP address for a new server.

Hi Kadir,

There are ample number of ways to do it.

The easiest of it is using the command....
set_params

The other way would be editing manually, /etc/rc.config/netconf, /etc/hosts files, which I discourage,if you are a new to HPUX arena.

set_parms hostame

will set hostname.

set_parms ip_address

will set ip-address.

This action is needing *reboot of machine*

A method to change without reboot.

1) Setting hostname:

# hostname

Change in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file for HOSTNAME entry and /etc/hosts file entry for hostname resolvation.

2) Setting IP-Address:

# ifconfig ip-address gw gateway up

Change the setting in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file based on interface.

Hi,

To change the IP address while the server is running you may use ( without reboot)

#ifconfig

Hi Kadir,

For your requirement, these 2 commands would suffice.

set_parms ip_address
set_parms hostname

But if you want to achieve this change in one reboot, then u will have to use..

set_parms initial

Hello,

Sorry for the typo in my previous post, it should be # /sbin/set_parms. This is the easiest and robust method of all.

Dear Shapuan,

The IP addess set using ifconfig wont be permanent.

The best way to make all basic network settings permanent is

#set_params

With Regards,

Siva.

Hi There,

What about changing the Hostname,Ip address and default gateway to a new one.

i try to run set_parms, seems didn't affect anything. Do i have to reboot the server after set the new hostname.

Hello,

yes, you should reboot the server in order to apply the changes.

hi,

if you are making more than 1 change, it is preferrable to restart the server so as to check if you have done everything well.

After restart, you can verify all your changes.

make sure that you have also backed up the configuration files and modification to remote scripts/programs so that they are aware of this change (if any)

hope this helps too!

kind regards

Sivakumar TS — Mon, 20 Feb 2006 22:15:19 GMT

Hi,

pls check the .profile

if it has a entry like,

PS1=[`hostname`]$

Then the prompt is 'hostname' then it would get changed automatically after changing the hostname.

Regards,

Siva.

Sivakumar TS — Mon, 20 Feb 2006 22:20:37 GMT

Hi,

If you want to change it manually to
"gst: />"

Then you have to add the follwoing line to .profile

PS1=gst'$PWD'$

Hope this Helps,

Siva.

You might be having PS1 set in your .profile or /etc/profile and it reflects to hostname changes. Once you change your hostname to "gst" execute your .profile by

# . /.profile
