Change the IP address of a Storage Management Server as follows:
If only a physical IP address needs to be changed and the Storage Management Server uses a logical IP address, then perform steps 5 and 6 only. Otherwise, perform all steps.
Check if the Storage Management Server transactions where the IP address is to be changed is also used for Storage Server transactions.
If it is also used for Storage Server transactions and replication management functions were used to define it as a copy source or copy destination volume, delete the copy source or copy destination volume settings.
Refer to "Deleting a copy source or copy destination volume" for the method for deleting the copy source or copy destination volume settings.
On the Storage Management Server, change the system IP address.
Restart the various AdvancedCopy Manager services on the Storage Management Server. Refer to "Chapter 2 Starting and Stopping a Service" for the restart method.
Note that this step is not required if the system was restarted in Step 1.
Create a server information change instruction file on the Storage Management Server, then execute the server information change command with the -f option specified to change the IP addresses. Refer to "stgxfwcmmodsrv (Server information change command)" for details on this command.
On the Storage Management Server, restart the services of AdvancedCopy Manager. For information on restarting a service, refer to Chapter 2 Starting and Stopping a Service.
Use the environment information display command to check that the IP address used for GUI connection is correct. If necessary, use the GUI connection information setting command to change the IP address set for GUI connection. Refer to "stgenvdisp (Environment information display command)" and "stgguiipset (GUI connection information setting command)" for details on these commands.
If the replication management functions are used, reconstruct the replication management environment (perform the "Setting copy source volume and copy destination volume" task and subsequent tasks).
Point
In the following cases, the IP address for GUI connection needs to be changed in Step 6:
If multiple network cards are mounted in the Storage Management Server, and the IP addresses used for communication with Storage Servers (IP addresses specified during database creation when the Storage Management Server was installed) are separate from the IP addresses specified for GUI client use
In other cases, if stgguiipset (GUI connection information setting command) is executed to explicitly set the IP addresses for GUI connection
See
For information about making the above change in a cluster operation, refer to "10.5.8.1 Changing the IP address of a Storage Management Server transaction".
