Mark, one way to change the AIXs IP is:
1) stop all applications (eg TSM) 2) run sh /etc/tcp.clean and sh /etc/nfs.clean ( from the console cause this stopps AIX networking ) 3) remove Network devices ( eg. rmdev -l en0 -d and rmdev -l ent0 -d ) 4) run cfgmgr to recreate the devices ( the are now *very* clean ) 5) run smitty tcpip-> minimum configuration and startup ( fill in all required information ) - starts the network 6) check /etc/hosts for possible inconsistences ( e.g. doubled hostname ) 7) retsart you applications be carfull to also update your client dsm.sys if you are not using DNS resolution - otherwise keep your DNS info in a consitent state. herfried Mark Hayden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@VM.MARIST.EDU> on 25.02.2002 15:51:07 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: IP change on AIX Hello everyone, This is not directly related to TSM, but we are in the process of changing all of our IP addresses. On our TSM server, we are running AIX 4.3.2. Most of our file servers are Novell, so it's much easier to change IP. Is there a simple one time program to run , that will make the changes for me????
