Changing host IP address

[Belinda Dermody]

Network people are switching my test developement from one network to another. I just trying to find out what files I would need to change to bring it up todate. I know I would have to change my host file and my sybase Interface file. I will have to authenicate all my ssh connections. I am running a basic HP-UX 11i system with a small sybase server and only internal connections to a few KEA terminals and PC's.

Hi,

You'll have to change:

/etc/rc.config.f/netconf

Enjoy :)

Also look into DNS and/or NIS host information files

Or you can run /sbin/set_parms ip_address.

also, check /var/adm/inetd.sec to make sure that the new machine can access other machines

[Rick Garland]

check the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file

also check the /etc/hosts file to see if the hosts needs updating there. Check the DNS tables, may need to be updated.

On the host system itself, you could also run the command 'set_parms' and this will do the changes for you.

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf
/etc/hosts
/etc/named.data/* if you are a named server.

If you are running applicatons on this box, you may find your move disrupts applicatons that rely on IP address.

I imagine sybase will tolerate this change pretty well. Don't change the hostname, that will break applications and possibly your print spool.

Thanks for all the quick response, I have enough information here to make it easy next week. Not changing the hostname, just the IP address and the sybase interface file. It is only a test/devel system for a few developers. Security wanted the production and development systems on different networks.
