ServerView Resource Orchestrator Virtual Edition V3.2.0 Reference Guide (Command)

8.1.2 Modification

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

The following elements can be modified:

• Admin IP Address

• Device name

• Location

• Type Information

• Group ID

• SNMP Information

• Login Information

• Monitoring Information

• Web Management Window URL

• Port Information and S-TAG ID

If defining multiple elements, they will be modified at the same time.
When performing batch modification, ensure the admin IP address is defined to identify the target resources for modification. Specify "modify" for Registration Mode (the Mode element).

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

Example

• Changing the admin IP address and use of the device name

  <Netdevice ip="New Admin IP Address" name="New Device Name">
  ...
  </Netdevice>

• Modifying a location:

  <Location>Modified Location</Location>

• Modifying the type information:

  <Types>
    <Type>Modified Type</Type>
  </Types>

• Modifying a Group ID:

  <Redundancy group_id="Modified Group ID"></Redundancy>

• Modifying the SNMP information:

  <Snmps>
    <ReadCommunity>Modified Community Name</ReadCommunity>
  </Snmps>

• Modifying the login information:

  <LoginInfo="Modified protocol" auth_type="Modified Management Method of Authentication Information" authority="Modified Administrator Authority" check="Modified Account Confirmation">
    <IpAddress>Modified Destination IP Address</IpAddress>
    <Port>Modified Destination Port Number</Port>
    <User>Modified User Account for Connection</User>
    <Password>Modified Password for Connection</Password>
    <PrivilegedPassword>Modified Administrator Password</PrivilegedPassword>
    <PasswordEncryption>Presence or absence of password encryption after modification</PasswordEncryption>
  </LoginInfo>

  </Monitoring>

• Modifying the Web management window URL:

  <MgmtURL>Modified Web Management Window URL</MgmtURL>

    </Port>
  </Ports>

Information

• Type information cannot be modified when the target network device for modification has been registered as "Fabric" or "ManagementHost".
  In order to change the type information of the target network device from "Fabric" or "ManagementHost" to something else, unregister the network device and then re-register it.

• Type information of network devices which are already registered cannot be changed to "Fabric" or "ManagementHost".
  In order to change the type information of the target network device to "Fabric" or "ManagementHost", unregister the network device first and then re-register it.

• Redundancy configuration information cannot be modified when there is a firewall or server load balancer deployed for the network device to be modified.

• When modifying login information, all existing login information is replaced.
  All registered login information is deleted.

• When modifying port information, all existing port information is replaced.
  If there is nothing specified, port information will be deleted.
  However, the port information obtained from devices will not be modified even if there is nothing specified.
