Information of an associated application element created in the Correlation window is not inherited when the server node name is changed. Register the application element again.
To change the IP address of a device with support level A or B registered with this software or to change the SNMP community name, follow the procedure below:
When the IP address of a device with support level A or B registered with this software is changed, this software can automatically change the IP address part in the properties of the same device.
To change the IP address
Referring "Detecting a device by specifying IP address" in "5.2.1 Device search" to perform device detection by specifying an IP address. Based on this operation, this software detects that the IP address of a registered device has been renewed and automatically changes the IP address information of the target device on this software.
For a device with support level A or B, excluding the server node, IP address information for multiple devices in the subnet can be automatically changed by performing "Detecting for devices in the same subnet as the administrative server automatically" in "5.2.1 Device search".
Management Software call information is not changed automatically. From "Properties" of each device icon, rewrite information manually.
Point
When the SNMP community name of the device has been changed to something other than "public" and its IP address is changed, set a new IP address for the SNMP community name before detecting any device using a new IP address. For the setting, see SNMP_COMMUNITY_NAME_FOR_IP and SNMP_COMMUNITY_NAME_FOR_AUTODISCOVER in "C.2 sanma.conf Parameter", and reflect the contents of the setting file on this software.
To change the SNMP community name
Set the community name of each target device.
For information on the community name of each target device, see "Chapter 4 Environment Configuration".
Set up the admin server.
Set the SNMP_COMMUNITY_NAME_FOR_IP to the setting file by referring to "C.2 sanma.conf Parameter", and reflect the contents of the setting file on this software.
In the environment of a Cluster System Operation, Node name inheritance may be used for Inherit network setting. Node name takeover affects the Name of a Server node.
In changing the Name of a Server node by setting Node name inheritance, refer to "9.1.2.4 Changing the name of a server node (host)".
ESC uses the following four ports.
Port | Description |
|---|---|
nfport 23456/tcp | Used for communication between administrative server and client |
sscruisera 4917/tcp | Used for communication between administrative server and managed server node |
ssvscme 7420/tcp ssvscme 7420/udp | Used for communication between the administrative server and virtual switches when using Virtual Storage Conductor |
These port numbers are managed as internal information by the site domain server, domain admin servers, managed server node files (*1), and admin clients. When not setting the port numbers in the files (*1), the numbers above will be used by default.
*1: The files for managed server nodes are as follows:
Type | File name (full path) |
|---|---|
Windows | %SystemRoot%¥system32¥drivers¥etc¥services |
Solaris OS | /etc/inet/services |
Linux, | /etc/services |
If you change the port number, set the same number for the other server nodes in ESC that used the previous number.
Example
When nfport of the administrative server is set as 23456:
Set 23456 for nfport of the client.
See
For further details about the ports, refer to "3.1.1 Network requirements".
Change the port number as follows.
How to change the port number of the administrative server and managed server nodes
You can change the port numbers by editing each file as follows:
