WebSphere stores both the host name and the IP address of your server in
several different configuration files. I can't imagine why they set things
up that way, but they did. The host name is in fully-qualified domain name
form in some files, and as a simple hostname in others. Also, some
configuration directory names are the host name.
You can find all these manually by grep'ing for your hostname and IP
address, then editing the files it finds:
egrep -ril 'HOSTNAME|THE.SERVER.IP.ADDR' /opt/WebSphere
You then need to find and rename the directories that use your hostname:
find /opt/WebSphere -name HOSTNAME
Obviously, do this after you have moved the partition. :-)
I've done this, and WebSphere does run on the new host after all those
changes. Good luck!
