IP address change

[Jerry L. Sims]

Hello All,

To change IP address for my server:
HP-UX B.11.11 9000/800/N4000-75

old address XXX.XXX.212.xxx
new address XXX.XXX.136.xxx

I'm assuming the changes that need to be made
are :
1) /etc/hosts
2) /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
3) DNS server tables
4) new default route ( from network staff ) ?

This server is an nis.client, so does the nis
server need to make changes also ?

[Jerry L. Sims]

Also I think there is an "ifconfig" needed
somwhere ?

Yes, if NIS is managing the hosts data then you need to alter the hosts map and push the changes out to the clients.

By the way, the correct way to set the local stuff is "set_parms ip_address" although manually editing the files and rebooting will take care of it. Man set_parms for details. Only if you are in a new subnet, do you need a new default route.

Depends if the nodes are using NIS for name resolution.

If yes then you would probably need to update the NIS server mapping your server name to the new IP address.

If you know how to manually update those files. these are the fiels needs to be updated. Pls make the appropriate changes in NIS automounter maps and hosts map.
