If it's WAS5, you can use a script to change name and ip's that have been imbedded. I have one if you need it.
For WAS6, you should get a copy of Steve Wehr's zExpo presention from last week. The wasprofile concept can probably help you out here. DB2connect doesn't seem to care about which IP/servername it is on. I've not had a problem with that one. Don't count out just having the app point to new server names. They are pretty used to that in the unix/intel world usually. Marcy Cortes "This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

My specific situation is that I must take existing production systems, and create them as SLES-9 64 bit. The problem being is that I am not going to be allowed to incur much downtime. So If the production systems have an IP address of (for example - not real) 111.222.111.222 and a DNS name of Spandex and my new system for the sake of example, has a temporary IP address of 111.223.111.223 and a DNS name of rayon, it seems to me that I can do the cloning, test the base system. Where I come to some confusion is the best way to install things like, DB2 Connect and WebSphere. These have a tendency to record such things as the 'name' of the system and I think WebSphere even buries IP information in there some where. Has anyone managed to install WebSphere or DB2 Connect on a Linux guest with one IP address and system name/DNS entry and then change the server to a new IP address/System name/DNS name or is it best to migrate the base clone to the 'production' name and IP address during scheduled down time and do the software installation then? I think CVS will be relatively immune to these concerns. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
