Change IP Address hp-ux 10.20

[Julian Sinclair]

We are about to change the ip range on one of our subnets and I would like some advice on the best way to do this on HP-Ux 10.20.

To the best of my knowledge, what I need to change is:-

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf

and update the IP address and default gateway.

What I am unsure of is, the ip address of the NIS master server will also be changing. What is the best method of changing this info on the HP Client ?

Hi.

Use the set_parms addl_netwrk command to set all the new parms.

hi,
better way to change NIS server's ip is through
SAM.
if you want it thorugh editing config file.
#vi /var/yp/binding/ypservers

Try

kibo:root> set_parms
Usage: set_parms
Where can be:
hostname
timezone
date_time
root_passwd
ip_address
addl_netwrk
or initial (for entire initial boot-time dialog sequence)

ie:
set_parms ip_address

Later,
Bill

Thankyou for the rapid answers.

I am now pretty confident that I will get this right and will probably use a combination of SAM and set_parms.

Just need to work out what needs changing on the solaris 2.6 nis master now.
