Moving Server from Production Network to Lab Network

[TheresaR]

I am trying to get the RX6600 server from the production network to the Lab Network. And having much difficulty.
The steps I have taken so far is
1. enable the lan card with the lab connection and disabled the lan card with the production in SAM
2. Updated the /etc/hosts
3. ran the setparms -ip_address.
When I boot the lan card with the lab network connection is a steady green and blinking green. When the lan cads work, they should be amber and blinking green.
Another question: I have 3 lan cards, I know that lan0 is the bttom of the card on the left. Can I assume that lan 2 is on the bottom of the 2nd card to the left.

Shalom,

From the bottom up.

3 Your assumption is wrong. lanscan will show all MAC addresses and lan number, you can then check the stamps on the system for matches. I have soon no pattern to how lan0 and lan1 and lan2 get assigned. I've seen it different on identical systems.

Your steps are right. ou may need to check your gateway and do some ping tests. Many lab networks only permit traffic based on MAC addresses. The network admins may need to know the Mac Address of the box.

Thank you for your answer. What stamp should I look for on the card to determine where the lab lan cable can be plugged into?

lanscan will show you the hw path of the card.

olrad -q will show how these hw paths link to actual slots in the server

More: I provided the network administrator a mac address and he provided the ip address for the mac address. I assumed that lan2 was a physical location. How can I find which card is the one I need to connect to?

How can I see if all networking configuration to the lab and it is no longer looking at the live network. Unless the network is functioning, SAM will hang up when running network commands.

Eureka! The command was the ticket to which card to plug the lan cable into. I can ping the lab ip address.
Thank you.
I try to log in with Putty but it only prompts me for a login and then hangs till it times out.

Shalom,

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf


Essentially trial and error worked.

Another issue.

You may need to clean up the client systems known_hosts file because it may contain the old ip address and ssh might have trouble with that or think the connection has been hijacked.

There may be a yes/no dialog from putty about this that must be answered yes.

If it still hangs, check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log for more information.

All of the advice help resolve the problem. Also, I thought that if a lan card was configured but disabled, it didn't count, but it does. I needed to remove the information from the lan cards that were set up for the other domain. The final configuration need to be made in the etc/resolv.conf. I needed to put both domain names in there for Oracle to work.
