ip address for coop box

[keith demingware]

I have an identical backup hp L2000 unix server as my production box. I ignited the backup box but when i plugged it into the network it halted my production box. I have changed the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file to read the proper IP address but the same issue happens. So i neet to know where else do i need to look on the backup box to change the IP address to the coop box so it stops acting like the production box. THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP.

run the set_parms command to change the hostname and IP address.

Disable/stop cron to prevent cron jobs from running

do not autostart any production apps

Hi Keith,

I don't know whether you did it by accident, but you've posted this Unix question on the Windows 95/98/ME forum.

If you try the Unix Networking forum - http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/categoryhome.do?categoryId=245 the guys there will probably respond quicker and better.

Regards,

Gary

Proper IP address in netconf? What about the proper hostname in netconf and /etc/hosts? The best way to ignite a new box is to ALWAYS save the image with the -I option. That way, there will not be an 'automatic' install and reboot -- you never want that when cloning a box. The best Ignite backup string is:

make_tape_recovery -I -v -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/
