6.1 Changing Admin IP Addresses

Use the following procedure to change the IP address used on the admin LAN by the admin server.

  1. Log on to the admin server with OS administrative privileges.

  2. Stop the manager.

    Stop the manager, referring to "2.1 Starting and Stopping the Manager" in the "Operation Guide CE".

  3. Change the SNMP trap destination set for the management blade and LAN switch blades.

    Set the SNMP trap destination to the new IP address of the admin server.

    Note

    Depending on the LAN switch blade used, setting an SNMP trap destination may restrict SNMP access to that switch blade.
    In a clustered manager configuration, set the physical IP addresses of both the primary and secondary nodes as SNMP trap destinations.
    If the LAN switch blade is set to only grant access from known IP addresses, be sure to give permissions to the physical IP addresses of both the primary and secondary cluster nodes, as is done with trap destination settings.
    For details, refer to the manual of the LAN switch blade to be used.

  4. Change the IP address set within the operating system.

    Change the IP address following the instructions given in the operating system's manual.
    If the admin LAN has been made redundant, change the admin IP address set in the following tools or products.

    • PRIMECLUSTER GLS

    • BACS

    • Intel PROSet

    Refer to the manual of each product for usage details.

    In a clustered manager configuration, change the cluster IP address according to the instructions given in "Changing the IP Address of a Clustered Manager".

  5. Change the IP address registered as the manager's admin IP address.

    Use the rcxadm mgrctl modify command to set a new IP address.

    [Windows Manager]

    >"Installation_folder\SVROR\Manager\bin\rcxadm" mgrctl modify -ip IP_address <RETURN>

    [Linux Manager]

    # /opt/FJSVrcvmr/bin/rcxadm mgrctl modify -ip IP_address <RETURN>

    In a clustered manager configuration, for details on how to change the admin IP address registered for the manager, refer to "Settings for Clustered Manager Configurations".

  6. Log in to the managed server with an OS administrator account.

  7. Change ServerView Agents settings on the managed server.

    Change the SNMP trap destination of the ServerView Agents. Refer to the ServerView Agent manual for details on changing SNMP trap settings.

  8. Stop the agents on managed servers. [Windows] [Hyper-V] [Linux] [Xen] [KVM]

    Stop the agent referring to "2.2 Starting and Stopping the Agent" in the "Operation Guide CE".

  9. Change Agent settings. [Windows] [Hyper-V] [Linux] [Xen] [KVM]

    Use the rcxadm agtctl modify command to set the new manager IP address.

    [Windows] [Hyper-V]

    >"Installation_folder\Agent\bin\rcxadm" agtctl modify -manager IP_address <RETURN>

    [Linux] [Xen] [KVM]

    # /opt/FJSVrcxat/bin/rcxadm agtctl modify -manager IP_address <RETURN>

  10. Restart the agents on managed servers. [Windows] [Hyper-V] [Linux] [Xen] [KVM]

    Start the agent referring to "2.2 Starting and Stopping the Agent" in the "Operation Guide CE".

  11. Restart the manager.

    Start the manager referring to "2.1 Starting and Stopping the Manager" in the "Operation Guide CE".

    Repeat steps 6 to 11 for each managed server on which an agent is running.

  12. Re-configure the HBA address rename setup service.

    When using the HBA address rename function, change the IP address of the admin server that is set for the HBA address rename setup service according to "Chapter 10 Settings for the HBA address rename Setup Service" in the "Setup Guide CE".

  13. Back up managed servers.

    If system image backups have already been collected from managed servers, it is recommended to update those images in order to reflect the changes made above. For details on system image backup, refer to "10.2 Offline Backup of the Admin Server" in the "Operation Guide CE".

    System images backed up before changing the admin IP address of the admin server cannot be restored anymore after the change. It is recommended to delete all system images collected before change, unless those images are specifically needed.

  14. Collect a cloning image. [Physical Servers]

    If cloning images have already been collected from managed servers, it is recommended to update those images to reflect the change made above. For details on cloning image collection, refer to "12.2 Collecting a Cloning Image".

    Cloning images collected before changing the admin IP address of the admin server cannot be deployed anymore after the change. It is recommended to delete all cloning images collected before change, unless those images are specifically needed.

    Note

    • IP addresses belonging to registered admin LAN subnets cannot be changed.

    • When a managed server belongs to the same subnet as the admin server, either delete the managed server or manually change the admin IP address of the managed server. Without changing the IP address of the managed server, it is not possible to register the information of the subnet the managed server belongs to, or change the information of the subnet.
