15.5.2 Modification

When modifying network resources, only elements that have been defined can be modified.

The following elements can be modified:

If defining multiple elements, they will be modified at the same time.

Define all new information of the settings after modification for external connection port settings.

Define all new information of the settings after modification for IP addresses to exclude.

When modifying network resources that automatically perform VLAN setting for external connection ports, if an external connection port is added, VLAN setting is automatically performed.

Note

  • Network resource types cannot be changed (specification of the Type tag).

  • Resource pools cannot be changed (specification of the Pool tag). To change to another resource pool, use the rcxadm pool move command.

  • VLAN IDs cannot be changed (specification of the Vlanid tag).

  • Automatic VLAN configuration for external connection ports cannot be modified (the vlanautosetting attribute of the ExternalPorts element cannot be specified).

  • Admin LAN subnet names cannot be changed (specification of the ManagementLanSubnet tag).

  • No errors occur in command execution.

  • When an external connection port is deleted, the following virtual resources may remain on the server within the chassis in which the LAN switch blade specified for the external connection port is mounted.

    • For VMware

      Port groups, virtual switches

    • For Hyper-V

      Virtual networks

    In this case, check the remaining virtual resources. If they are unnecessary, delete them using VM management software.

    The network map of Resource Orchestrator or VM management software can be used to check for the remaining virtual resources.

The XML definition for modification of each element is shown below.

Example

  • Modifying network resource names

    <Network name="Modified network resource name" />

  • Modifying labels

    <Network label="Modified label" />

  • Modifying comments

    <Network>
  <Comment>Modified Comments</Comment>
</Network>

  • Addition of physical LAN segments

    <Network>
  <PhysicalLANSegment>Physical LAN segment name which is added</PhysicalLANSegment>
</Network>

  • Deletion of physical LAN segments

    <Network>
  <PhysicalLANSegment />
</Network>

  • Modifying subnet information (when subnet information is not registered in network resources)

    <Network>
  <AddressSet subnet="Modified subnet address" mask="Modified subnet mask" />
</Network>

  • Initializing subnet information (when the network resource type is public LAN, and the subnet information is registered)

    <Network>
  <AddressSet />
</Network>

    Do not specify any value in <AddressSet>.

  • Adding exclusion range of IP addresses (when adding the IP address range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.10 to the existing exclusion range of 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200)

    <Network>
  <AddressSet>
    <Exclude>
      <AddressRange start="192.168.1.100" end="192.168.1.200" />
      <AddressRange start="192.168.1.1" end="192.168.1.10" />
    </Exclude>
  </AddressSet>
</Network>

  • Changing exclusion range of IP addresses (when deleting the IP address range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.10 from the exclusion ranges of 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200 and 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.10)

    <Network>
  <AddressSet>
    <Exclude>
      <AddressRange start="192.168.1.100" end="192.168.1.200" />
    </Exclude>
  </AddressSet>
</Network>

    Specify all IP address ranges to be excluded after modification for the Exclude element.

  • Initializing the value of exclusion range of IP addresses

    <Network>
  <AddressSet>
    <Exclude />
  </AddressSet>
</Network>

    Do not specify any value in <Exclude>.

  • Modifying the default gateway

    <Network>
  <AddressSet>
    <DefaultGateway address="Modified default gateway" />
  </AddressSet>
</Network>

  • Initializing the default gateway (This can only be specified when the network resource type is public LAN)

    <Network>
  <AddressSet>
    <DefaultGateway />
  </AddressSet>
</Network>

    Do not specify a value in <DefaultGateway>.

  • Adding external connection ports (when adding external connection port information for an attached chassis (PRIMERGY BX900/BX400))
