Workstation - ip change

[brian_31]

some 2 HP workstations moved to a new site (just 2 blocks away). right now they are not coming all the way up (i guess there is change in ip/subnet etc). I do not know the root passwd either. please let me know if these steps would bring it up

1. powerup the w/s
2. hit anykey and boot pri, say yes to interact with ISL
3. on the isl prompt hpux -is
4. /sbin/passwd root (to change root passwd)
5. /sbin/set_parms initial (and give all the info) and reboot

Are these steps correct for the HP workstation?

Thanks

Brian,

seems to me that the steps you outlined should work.

That will be required but it may not be sufficient. Since the IP address is changed, you will also need to update your DNS servers with the new IP addresses and/or NIS(+) servers --- whatever is used for hostname resolution.

Hi,
It's OK, but you can
#mount -a , in order to get vi
change /etc/hosts, /etc/rc.config.d/netconf as needed and run
init 3

i guess there is no need touch any files after doing /sbin/set_parms. But yes, the dns needs to be updated but that is outside of the w/s. Is that correct?

Thanks

Iff the workstation is not a DNS server.
