Host Name or IP Address Change

This section describes how to reconfigure ALES after the initial installation. The following topics are described:

 

Configuration for New Host Name

This section describes how to reconfigure components if you change the host name of the system on which the Administration server is installed. The steps you follow depend on whether you are enrolling the SSM instance in demo or secure mode:

Admin Server and SSM on Same WLS System, SSM Instance in Demo Mode

In this scenario, the Admin server and the SSM are both installed on the same system, and the platform is WebLogic Server.

Follow these steps to reconfigure ALES:

  1. Shut down all ALES services, including the ALES Administration Server and the SCM:
    1. BEA_HOME/ales30-admin/bin/WLESadmin.sh stop
    2. BEA_HOME/ales30-scm/bin/WLESscm.sh stop
    3. Stop the SSM instance.

      4. If any of these components was started in console mode, type CTRL-C to stop it.

  2. Modify BEA_HOME/ales30-scm/apps/scm-asi/sar-inf/config.xml to replace the old host name with the new host name:
    1. <listener host="<OLD HOSTNAME>" port="7013" protocol="https">
    2. <proxy best="<OLD HOSTNAME>" port="7011" protocol="https">

Configuration for a New IP Address

This section describes how to reconfigure ALES components if the IP address is subsequently changed. The steps you follow depend on how the ALES components are installed:

Host IP of Admin Server and SCM Changed, Host IP of SSM Not Changed

If the host IP of the Admin server and SCM is changed but the host IP of the SSM is not changed, follow all of these steps.

  1. Shut down all ALES services, including the Admin server and the SCM.
    1. BEA_HOME/ales30-admin/bin/WLESadmin.sh stop
    2. BEA_HOME/ales30-scm/bin/WLESscm.sh stop
    3. Stop SSM instance.
      4. Note: If any of these components were started in console mode, you may need to type CTRL-C in a Command window to stop them.
  2. Modify BEA_HOME/ales30-scm/config/SCM.properties to replace the old IP address with the new IP address in the following line:

    3. OS.interface = 10.120.3.140

  3. Modify BEA_HOME/ales30-ssm/<ssm>/adm/ssm_install.properties to replace the old IP address with the new IP address in the following line:

    4. scm.interface.list = 10.120.3.140

  4. Restart the SCM , the Admin server, and the SSM.

SSM IP is Changed, IP of Admin Server and SCM Not Changed

If the host IP of the SSM is changed, follow these steps.

  1. Modify BEA_HOME/ales30-ssm/<ssm>/adm/ssm_install.properties to replace the old IP address with the new IP address in the following line:

    2. scm.interface.list = 10.120.3.140

  2. Restart the SCM , the Admin server, and the SSM.

SSM is on Same Host as Admin Server and SCM

If the Admin server, SCM, and SSM are all on the same host and the IP address is changed, follow these steps.

  1. Shut down all ALES services, including the Admin server and the SCM.
    1. BEA_HOME/ales30-admin/bin/WLESadmin.sh stop
    2. BEA_HOME/ales30-scm/bin/WLESscm.sh stop
    3. Stop SSM instance.
      4. Note: If any of these components were started in console mode, you may need to type CTRL-C in a Command window to stop them.
  2. Modify BEA_HOME/ales30-scm/config/SCM.properties to replace the old IP address with the new IP address in the following line:

    3. OS.interface = 10.120.3.140

  3. Modify BEA_HOME/ales30-ssm/<ssm>/adm/ssm_install.properties to replace the old IP address with the new IP address in the following line:

    4. scm.interface.list = 10.120.3.140
