To Reconfigure Linux Operating System Files for Rehosting

Before You Begin

Ensure that the N1 System Manager Start on Reboot feature has been disabled as described in Disabling N1 System Manager Start on Reboot.

Steps

1. Log in as root on the management server.

2. Edit the file /etc/hosts and change the displayed hostname and IP address to the new hostname and IP address.

3. Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network and change the displayed hostname to the new hostname.

4. Edit each /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethx where ethx is the name of the Ethernet port type.

   For example /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1.

   Change the displayed IP address to the new IP address. If your management server uses separate Ethernet ports for the management and provisioning networks, ensure that you specify the correct IP address to each port.

5. Power down the management server.

6. Connect the management server to the new network.

7. Reboot the management server.

   When the management server has completed rebooting, ensure that no N1 System Manager processes are running.
