Remote TCP/IP Change

[Naresh]

Dear Team,

1. I just wanted to know if the IPAddress, Netmask and Subnet could be
changed on a running AIX Server from a remote machine through a TELNET
or a SSH Session?

I am not able to try this out on my server....

Great if you guys could try it out for me....

2. How do you setup WSM on a windows client if the url fails...?

Yes.
Obviously, you need another nic attached to another net preventing
conection lost.
Yo have to detach the nic you want to change.

If the machine has only one connected network interface (through which
you will be connecting), then obviously you can't do this interactively.
You could make a script that does this and run it as a crontab job...
and pray that it works so that you can contact your machine on the new
IP address ;-)

AFAIK this only works on an HMC machine, not on an AIX server.

1)
If your machine has only one configured interface, nothing special then
see

man ' mktcpip ' for details to configure your interface

its a one line command

2)
Read the documentation at
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.doc/aixbman/wsmadmn/install_applet.htm

or copy from the aix server just the nessessary binary for windows

Hi,

If you are running AIX 5.x you could add an alias to your nic.
This way you can leave the first ip untouched in case your new adress
doesn't work.
I for myself have about 5 aliases on the same nic and different
subnetworks connect fine this way.

Felipe

1. yes, it's can be done, script it and run with nohup...
You'll loose the connection to that box so you would need to
re-establish the communication afterwords... there is more to it --
switches and routers...
2. check url, make sure wsmserver is active on your aix node.

1: With smit mktcpip you can change IP address, netmask and subnet and
choose restart yes and enter.
Obiously you will loose the session, but the changes will be in activated.
