Appliance Mode Only

The steps below are only applicable for All-in-One DPOD appliance mode installation. In non-appliance installations, the operating system and network configuration is under the responsibility of the customer, so the following procedure can only be used as an example. For details about changing network addresses in a Cell environment, Change Cell Environment's Network Addresses.

 

The appliance IP address is static by default. Hence, changing the IP address of the appliance requires a few steps.

  1. Change the IP address (IPADDR) of the network interface, and if required also the network subnet mask (NETMASK), by editing the network interface configuration file (e.g.: for network interface eth0):

    vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

    You may use the command ip a to display the list of current IP addresses and network interfaces.

  2. [Optional] If the appliance’s network subnet has changed, change the default gateway (GATEWAY) by editing the network configuration file:

    vi /etc/sysconfig/network

    You may use the command ip route to display the current routing configuration.

  3. [Optional] If the DNS configuration has changed, change the name servers (nameserver) by editing the DNS configuration file:

    vi /etc/resolv.conf

  4. Restart the network service:

  5. Update hosts file and replace the old IP address with the new IP address:

  6. Run the following SQL using ij utility:

  7. Stop all the application services using app-util.sh -> option 2 (stop all)

  8. Start all the application services using app-util.sh -> option 1 (start all)
