Chaging hostname and IP address

We have a Solaris 10 machine and need to change the hostname and the IP address. I have worked primarily with Solaris 8 and this is my first experience with Solaris 10. I am fairly sure I will get the basics, but I have the vague recollection that there was something under /etc/opt or similar. Now, I cannot find it. So, I was wondering if someone knew of a checklist of things to change to make sure that I do not miss anything.
Any info would be greatly appreaciated.

I guess I should learn to look harder before I post:

  • What is the procedure to change the hostname and IP address of iAS?

    Dear all,
    I would like to change hostname and ip address of iAS, is it just only
    change the kregedit or i need to change some config file?
    Thank you for your help!
    Angus

    Hi,
    i am not sure what do you mean by changing ip address and machine name.
    Is the IP address and machine name of the installation machine changed?
    Then you can change the ip address and machine name from kregedit. If
    you want to run it from some other machine, you wont be able to do it.

    Hey!
    I want to migrate a collaboration suite from a standalone machine to a virtual machine. Their I need to change the hostname and the IP-address from the whole collaboration suite.
    My question is: Is it possible to change the hostname and the IP-adrdress and if yes! Is their any script from Oracle which I could use?
    By the way: I use the same host configuration as before (SLES 9) and have a FULL environment backup.

    Hi Ramesh,
    Assuming you are using Windows environment, do the following in the m/c you are running integration builder:
    Go to Start->Run->Type drivers->Ok->go to folder etc->open hosts file with notepad->in the last line, set your XI Server hostname and provide the IP for the same. (An entry for 127.0.0.1 localhost will already exist in the file)->Save and Close. Now try running SXMB_IFR.

  • I want to be able to totally block the FaceTime functionality in my home network.  I would like to do this at the router level.  Does anyone know the hostname or IP address that the FaceTime application uses? Or which port it connects to?

    I want to be able to totally block the FaceTime functionality in my home network so my 4 kids aren't using the Facetime feature- It was easy for Skype just had to enter the work Skype on my Router Security list- and it denies access. I would like to do this at the router level for FaceTime? Only site I find in init.ess.apple.com - is this the startup site for Facetime?   Does anyone know a site I can block, hostname or IP address that the FaceTime application uses? Or which port it connects to?

    I would presume so, but it might be worth your while to experiment and play around with different combinations to see if you can block FaceTime while keeping Game Center open.  Good luck!

    There are few tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files in the system, how to know which one are effective? If I change tnsnames.ora hostname entry, do I need to change listerner.ora file also?
    Thanks.
    Regard,
    Kenneth.tnsnames.ora is used only by client processes. listner.ora is used only to configure the listener, and that is a server side issue only. In addition, the listener can start without any listener.ora at all, using all default values. See my discussion of tns issues at edstevensdba.wordpress.com
    If you are using dbcontrol, you will most likely need to reconfigure it, using the emca utility.

  • Solution Manager 7 EHP1 - Chage Host name and IP Address

    Dear All,
    I have installed Solution Manager 7 EHP1 (ABAP+JAVA Stack) on Windows 2003 64bit and working fine.
    I need to change HOST name and IP Address of the machine.
    In SAP where I need to change or reconfig ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Nirav

    Hello Nirav,
    first of all: welcome to a big adventure!
    There are some configurations you should face and prepare yourself before you change the hostname, or IP-Adress.
    1. Be aware of the SMD-Agents. You should activate the Maintenace Mode in Diagnostics just before changing the hostname.
    2. Do the changes in ABAP (profile parameters, transport configurations, RFC-connection settings, reorganization of table entries). The systemcopy guide is a good place for informations. Don't forget to recreate the trusted connections to and from the connected  managed systems.
    3. Do the changes in Java (use system copy guide for informations).
    4. Every SMD-Agent in your system landscape must be reconfigured after you change the hostname and did the adjustments in ABAP and Java. Have look into the Diagnostics setup Guide for a detailed information about changing the conection parameters
    5. If you are using a central DBACOCKPIT management in SolMan and Oracle, the TNSNAMES entry should be changed.
    6. SAP likes to connect to SolMan, so the SAPROUTER entries schould be changed also.
    7. Perhaps you are monitoring your system landscape with SAPCCMS Agents, then all agents in your landscape have to be changed in their configurations.
    8. I have BI installed within SolMan and got an error page after changeing the hostname. Try this URL to make some corrections:
    http://<hostname>:<Port>/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcsmde2ewa/E2ewaConfig
    Changing the hostname of SolMan isn't a small job and done in 60s. I suggest a detailed planning and to make a roadmap of all doings.
    Have a lot of fun!

  • Reconfig Server Name and IP Address

    I've installed Solaris 2.4 on a Sun Ultra. I'm required to re-set this up, but I am trying to avoide full installation from scratch. Is it possible to re-set up the parameters that was entered when I first installed it??
    I need to actually change the Server Name and IP address of the machine, and not the network card, as well as root password and other configs entered during installation.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I am not sure whether this command is there in 2.4. If it is there, you may try running /usr/sbin/sys-unconfig. This does all what you are looking for. It will reboot the system, ask all the questions e.g hostname, ip address, root password, domainname etc. And will again reboot.
    Please read man page of sys-unconfig before executing.
    Thanks

  • Get Machine Name and IP Address from Air Flex App

    New to Air..... Is there a way to get the name of the machine
    and the ip address for the client running the Air application? Not
    that this matters, but the applcation would be a Flex 3 application
    built specifically to be deployed to the Air runtime. I need to be
    able to have the Air/Flex application know what the client's
    machine name and ip address is. Can this be done?
    Thanks

    Hi Frank,
    Well I am using Developer Suite 10g Release (10.1.2.0.2) ..I've gone thru the link what you have sent me and noticed that whatever updations of conf file or classpath its already there so i guess needn't to modify cause I think my release 10.1.2.0.2 has did already as webutils been bundled with it.
    Well What i did is to double click on ATTACH LIBRARY and browse the location to find webutil.pll and finally attached it...even though its showing me all the procedures like clientinfo and others...
    on my block's canvas I've put a button and used this trigger to get client info function like this.
    when-button-pressed trigger of INFOBUTTON
    DECLARE
    o_clientinfo varchar2(50) := Webutil_clientinfo.GET_HOST_NAME ;
    begin
    message(o_clientinfo);
    end;
    but when I am trying to open this form its simply not showing up..strange thing is that there is no error as well...so plz kindly guide me how to get clientinfo hostname or ipaddress using that library function.
    thanks

  • Valid hostname or network address required in server description:10024

    Since applying 10.8.5, the mail server won't run and this message is in the SMTP log
    valid hostname or network address required in server description:10024
    If I turn off filtering the existing email on the queue aren't processed because smrp-amavis is not available.
    What's going wrong and how can I correct it?

    OK, seems a lot of emails were left on the queue.  after much Googling, I found

    This got things moving again and the outstanding queue cleared.

  • Same device name has multiple IPs and MAC addresses - my fix

    Router: Cisco Linksys EA4500 (N900)
    Cloud Firmware: 2.1.139.145204 (no, I don't plan to update this version to the latest)
    Cable Modem Service
    So I was playing around with Oracle's VirtualBox (it's kinda like VMware, or Microsoft's HyperV) on my primary LAN-wired desktop in my home network, to create Virtual Machines (VMs, hereafter) to technically preview Microsoft's Windows 10 (may be released next year), and a couple of my other Windows installations.
    I ended up launching VMs with the same hostname, but with different MAC addresses (and thus, different IP addresses).
    The Linksys cloud firmware displayed all those MAC-IP combinations under the same hostname icon in its Smart WiFi Tools' Device List.
    Some people here have complained about this issue, and I'd like to say this has never happened to me before (using the EA4500 for over a year), and I have about 15 devices connecting to my router, a minimum of 5 online at any one time.
    With this kind of situation, you can't individually address each of those affected machines for Parental Controls and other configuration options.
    What I did to solve the problem:
    1. Ensure every VM has a unique name (change hostname in Windows Control Panel).
    (this can be challenging since a cloned VM will initially start with the same name as its master, and the problem will already occur. Once the problem occurs, just renaming the hostname and rebooting the device/VM will not solve the problem. Would be nice if it did)
    2. Get all duplicated devices off the network.
    3. Execute a "ipconfig /flushdns" from the command prompt.
    4. Delete any device (click on the x in the Device List icon) when it goes offline in the Smart WiFi Device List.
    5. Ensure no duplicates exist under Connectivity, Local Network, DHCP Reservations (I use DHCP reservation for a number of my devices so they are guaranteed a fixed local IP)
    6. Hit Refresh (more than once! ) under Troubleshooting, Status to get a list of devices with non-duplicate MAC addresses.
    7. Do the same after clicking on the DHCP client table button on the same page.
    8. Reboot the router (this step was not necessary some times, but I'd do it just to be safe).
    9. Now add the devices back onto your network one at a time.
    If there are no more hostname duplications, the VM devices with their unique MAC addresses should create new icons in the Device List page as they connect to the home network.
    Hope the above helps somebody.

    For which version of Mail and OS?

  • Syslogd problem after changung hostname and IP

    Hi all.
    My problem is that the syslog facility stoped to write to the file /var/log/syslog after I had changed the hostname and the IP address of my Solaris 10 box.
    The most interesting thing is that all files in /var/adm are updated succesfuly.
    I had the same problem on Soaris 8 box, but after restarting the syslogd process the problew was gone.
    I tried to disable-enable svc:/system/system-log:default and HUP syslogd but that didn't work to me.
    Does anybody know how to fix this.
    Any help wil be appriciated.

    Hi,
    take a look at
    /etc/inet/ipnodes
    Solaris 10 writes the IP address in this file too, at installation.
    You should change the IP entry here too.

  • Hostname and file sharing names don't match

    I have a very strange problem...   I am running OS X 10.7.2 on my Mac Pro.    My Computer Name / Hostname doesn't match what is shown for my computer name on the Sharing panel under System Preferences for File Sharing, Screen Sharinging etc. 
    When I go to System Preferences -> Sharing, my Computer Name is "gascan-mac" which is what I get in the terminal of my system.  However when I selected Screen Sharing or File Sharing the details about this service on the left show "vnc://mac-mini/" for the Screen Sharing address and "afp://mac-mini" for File Sharing and "http://mac-mini/" for Web Sharing.   What is up?
    I have rebooted multiple times and nothing fixes this.  If I go to another system and ping using "mac-mini" I get a response from the correct address.  So something in the system is set to this name but I can't find where to change it. 
    Help!
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I don't see your problem.
    There is little to no connection between your machine's own hostname and DNS - which is what everyone else will be using to lookup your host via.
    In other words, according to the DNS for your network, the IP address in use by your machine has the 'mac-mini[.whatever]' hostname.
    The Sharing preferences hostname is pretty much used by Bonjour/Zeroconf so your machine likely also has the name 'gascan-mac.local' but that's not directly connected to your DNS.
