APA issue

[Marco Castillo]

I'm planning to sustitute a server with another one -that I've already installed and running with APA- with the set_parms initial coomand to change hostname and ip address. Is there any special consideration to keep in mind or some different procedure given the APA issue?. Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Marco,

I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you taking an existing system that has APA configured and using "set_parms initial" to change its hostname and IP address, or are you trying to take a totally different server and replace it with a system that has APA configured?

Regards,

Dave

typically, set_parms initial will set the IP address for lan0.
typically, APA results in lanNNN or lanNNNN interface names.

so, you may need to go in after the fact and edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf to have the proper lan entry.

Hello Marco;
As Rick says, with set_parms you change the ip of the lan0. The best way to do this is by editing the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file. If you don't feel comfort with "vi" you can use set_parms just for the hostname and use SAM to change you agregation's ip address. And remember to change your /etc/hosts file if you use it for resolving names.

In addition to changing netconf, you must ensure that the interfaces the aggregate contains have retained their instance numbers. For example, if in your old system lan900 contained lan1 and lan2, you need to ensure that lan1 and lan2 are defined in the new system and are the interfaces you want to aggregate into lan900.

lanscan(1M) can be used to determine the interfaces available in the new system. ioscan(1M) can be used to determine what type of interfaces these are. If the instance numbers of the physical interfaces you wish to aggregate have changed between the old and the new system, you would also need to modify /etc/rc.config.d/hp_apaconf to reflect the change.

Thanks.
