Which files do I have modify when I change the full adentity of a server to another.

We want to change the hostname, IP address and etc...

Easiest way would be to run set_parms initial. I'm pretty certain this will do everything you want.

Hi Ralph,

You can use # /sbin/set_parms to set these values. Also have a look at /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

If you make any changes to /etc/rc.config.d/netconf then for those changes to be effective you have two options

1. stop and start the net service using
/sbin/init.d/net stop
/sbin/init.d/net start
or
2. Reboot the server

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf
change IP and hostname.
don't forget to update your host file as well.
Then reboot.

Rafael,

Apart from the suggestions above, please note that any software installed registered to the current nodename needs to be configured so as to use the new nodename.
Also if there are any scripts with server name hardcoded (a bad idea to do), then you need to modify them as well.
