changing IP of the server

[Raghuram Ollakal_1]

I have a HP 9000 K-class server running HPUX 10.20, and NNM 6.1 and ciscoworks 4.0. This is our main server for the Node manager, it got a 161.214 address we are thinking to change this to a 10X address. I know if I change the IP I need to get the NNM password re issuied. other than that anything I need to worry about. How easy is to chage the IP on a production server.

Hi:

The easiest way is to run:

# /sbin/set_parms ip_address

...and reboot.

Regards!

If it is just the change of
IP address, it is easy. You
would need a downtime to
reboot the box. Run the
command:
/sbin/set_parms ip_address

it will guide you through the
process.

Hi:

You can simply /sbin/set_parms ip_address which will ask you a few questions or
you can edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and /etc/hosts.

You will also need to update your DNS server or NIS server(if applicable).

When you have finished, reboot.

Hi,

In below link there are a number of options that you can check, even ones that don't require a reboot.

Hi,
If it is cell manager for omni backup then also you have to reapply omni license again.

Also be careful that SDUX doesn't go up the creek. SDUX relies on the hostname, so if you do what I did once and change the machine's entry in the DNS without adding a CNAME - SDUX breaks and you sit there scratching your head wondering why.

If you're running sendmail, make sure that the config file is ok.
