Changing Hostnames/IP Addresses
Changing the Hostname/IP Address of a
Managed Node
NOTE When changing the hostname of a managed node, you must de-install the
ITO agent software from that node before proceeding with the following
step. Re-install the ITO agent software when you have finished with this
task. For more information on de-installing and re-installing the agent
software, see the HP OpenView IT/Operations Installation Guide for the
Management Server.
1. On all ITO managed nodes whose IP address you want to change, stop
the ITO agent processes:
/opt/OV/bin/OpC/opcagt -kill
2. On the management server, ensure that the database is running. If it
is not running, start it now with the following command:
su - oracle
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/svrmgrl
connect internal
startup
exit
exit
For more information about the Oracle database, see the HP
OpenView IT/Operations Installation Guide for the Management
Server.
3. On the management server system, for all the managed nodes that
will be modified, change the ITO managed node's IP-address/node
name in the ITO database according to the “old/new name” naming
scheme below:
/opt/OV/bin/OpC/utils/opcchgaddr -sync -force \
-label < label > IP < old_addr > < old_name > IP \
< new_addr > \ < new_name >
Where:
-sync synchronizes any changes to
hostname/IP address with the
ITO run-time components.
