set_parms

[HDgio]

In a 11i with the command set_parms initial
change hostname,ip address,netmask,gateway.
After a requested reboot the system go up with
a system name, netmask and gateway modified
but with the old ip address.
To the same way if I give the set_parms whith the param hostname and don't reboot, ip_address and don't reboot, addl_network and don't reboot because don't asked me, and give reboot manually, when the system give up the hostname is modified but not ip and gateway.
It would seem necessary a reboot after the change of every parameter.
WHY ?
Thanks to All

Hi,
System will reboot for Hostname change but not for IP address change. You can use "ifconfig" command to change IP address, "route add default" command to define gateways and do necessary changes in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file to make the changes permanent so that for next reboot values are retained.
Also if you do this from sam then you don't have to anything, systems take care of modifying these files.

Hope that helps,

Hi there,

Use "set_parms initial" to keep reset and save your settings for good.

Hi,

use "ifconfig" to change ip address and make the appropriate changes in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and finally adapt your default gateway entry (netstat -r) with route add if necessary

To make effect of changed ip-address permanently then reboot is needed there. It is not as like other parameters of hostname, etc.

man page set_parms for ip-address say's as

ip_address Allows the user to set or change the primary IP address
of the system. An IP address change will require a
system reboot to take effect. Edits the /etc/hosts
file to associate the new IP address with the current
hostname. First boot: also lets the user pick the lan
interface to set up for this and subsequent networking
functions. Non-first boot: In multiple lan systems, it
assumes that the IP address is being changed for the
lowest numbered IP address/Lan Interface Card data set
in the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.

------------

IF you want to make temporary then configure with ifconfig and to make effect then put entry /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file entries.


Else do it with system administration manager (sam) also.

If I make a make_restore from an image and to the first boot did I want to change in an only time all the interested parameters with a simple command and in an alone reboot, thing I should use, considering that set_parms initial seems not to correctly work?
