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

Possibly, depending on where where you're moving the host.
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/nsswitch.conf

It is /etc/rc.config.d/netconf - Make sure you do it manually if you are using ifconfig to configure the ip address

Depending on the scale of what you are doing it differs. If you are changing only the system primary IP address using ifconfig nothing gets updated. To have a permanent setting of IP address you have to update /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file so that system will come with the same ip even after reboot. If your systems is running MCSG cluster you will have to update the cluster configuration as well to change the heartbeat network if there is any change with them.

if you want to change the ip address without edit any files manually, use SAM to change ip address, it will change /etc/hosts, /etc/rc.config.d/netconf automatically .

/etc/hosts and /etc/rc.config.d/netconf are the files.

Depends on the situation you need to edit these two files.

Hi Rakesh Babu,

Use SAM or set_parms command to change ip address. So that you don't need to manually update the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.
