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

Migrate WSUS server from 2003x86 to 2008x64, new hardware, use same name and IP address?

Searching through the WSUS forums and reading the TechNET migration documentation, I have bits and pieces of information to make this a smooth transition...I think. I have a plan in mind but
would like the communities input on what I am thinking before moving forward and having it blowup in my face :). <o:p></o:p>
I have the following currently:<o:p></o:p>
A single WSUS 3.0 SP2 server, running on Server Win2003x86, using the default WID (susdb.mdf) on the same server. I have SQL 2005 Express installed on this server as well for other services
but this has no bearing on the WID correct?<o:p></o:p>
What I would like to do:<o:p></o:p>
I have a new server (a much better one) that I would like to move WSUS on to, that will be running Server Win2008x64 (I have to setup first). <o:p></o:p>
Steps that I would like to follow:<o:p></o:p>
1. I will go through and setup this new server with all M$ updates etc... under a new name (ex. wsusnew) and DHCP acquired IP address and then power it down. <o:p></o:p>
2. Get on my current WSUS server and backup all current WSUS settings, groups, DB etc... to a network location for temporary storage. Then power it down.<o:p></o:p>
3. Delete the current WSUS server computer object in AD, DNS entry I will leave because my intension is to give the same IP address to the new WSUS server.<o:p></o:p>
4. Start the new server, static assign the IP address from the old WSUS server to this new server and then change the name of (wsusnew) to the old servers name, which should be ok sense I deleted
the AD object in step 3.<o:p></o:p>
5. After the obvious restart, the new server will have the same name and IP address as the old server. <o:p></o:p>
6. Now that the new server is up (with same settings name/IP as old server), I will then go through and install the WSUS role on the server and restore my WSUS information.<o:p></o:p>
Questions:<o:p></o:p>
1. Step 2 above, is it possible to do this, without making replica servers? I kept reading about this as I was researching doing this, I would rather just copy the DB and folders and simply
put them in-place on the new server.<o:p></o:p>
2. Step 6 above, restoring of the data, what is the proper way to do this in the scenarioI described? <o:p></o:p>
Thank you to anyone who can provide me some information.
Jeff

Thank you for the reply, I will follow and let you know. Proabably be next week sometime before I'm able to try though. So look for a reponse then. Thank you again.
Jeff
OR...
You can use the much more simple, much more reliable, and much more proven method of:
Install new server as a replica of the old.
Replicate.
Configure new server as upstream server.
Point clients to new server.
Turn off old server after all clients have redirected to the new server.
For everybody that has tried the backup/restore the database procedure described above, they have encounted complications of one form or another.
WSUS has a built-in and fully supported comprehensive replication capbility. use it! :-)

'"Connection Failed" : The server "rrnas01" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again' message

'"Connection Failed" : The server "rrnas01" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again' message keeps displaying whenever I try to open any Adobe CS5 applications (except for Adobe Acrobat Pro). It displays until I click "OK" about 15-20 times or so and then will finally let my program open.
I have tried deleting files within my Library/Preferences folder and turning off/deleting login items within my system preferences as other forums suggested but nothing happened. Spending 3.5 hours on the phone with Adobe and completely uninstalling and then reinstalling the entire CS5 Master Collection didn't work either.
Also, it may be helpful to know that my programs worked fine for about three weeks then when we got internet and changed the password (the join, not the adminstrative password) with the wireless network "ScubaSteve" (which I've used with no problems at my old apartment) it started acting up. I have never seen "rrnas01" before so I don't know at all where it came from. I also installed the free 30 day trial of Suitcase Fusion 3 recently, but thinking that could also be the cause I have uninstalled it, and still no help.
Please help me! And please keep in mind I don't know all the computer lingo that a lot of the people in these forums seem to know. Thanks in advance for ny help you can give me.

It may not be possible .. there is a major bug between Mountain Lion and the TC where the TC disk goes off the radar of the computer.
Lion is also affected but not as badly.
7.6.4 seems worse than earlier firmware.. so back to 7.6.1 or 7.5.2 if that is possible.
Obviously that is not a solution for a later Gen5 TC.
Reset to factory after the firmware downgrade. .use all network names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
If the TC is the main router set the dhcp to a very short lease time.. eg 30min.. and see how it goes, or try a longer lease like 99days.
I prefer the very short lease but response has been mixed.
Use ethernet not wireless.. ethernet is always more reliable and stable than wireless.
And last .. a nightly electric timer that powers off every night at midnight for 1min.. would not be the first device we have suggested a fix that amounts to beat the unit to the punch by forcing it to reboot since it is unstable.

RE: 1) Changing name and IP address of an AIX 4.2 Server 2)Using NAT

Daniel,
you (normaly) just have to :
1) edit the $FORTE_ROOT/fortedef.sh fileand change the value of variable
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS
2) shutdown and restart forte environment
3) put the new values in the control panel of the client and run !
It worked on our site with the same configuration (Aix 4.2)
Good luck

Objet : 1) Changing name and IP address of an AIX 4.2 Server 2)
Using NAT to reach forte
Hello Forte Users :
    I have 2 questions to make:
    1)
    I've installed a Forte Server Central Node (Release 3.0.F.2) in an
IBM RS/6000 with OS AIX 4.2
    (The name of the server is Name_1 and the IP address is
125.125.50.50 with mask 255.255.255.0)
    Nowadays we had to change the name and IP address of this server
lets say to Name_2 and 125.125.60.60 with mask 255.255.255.0.
    After that we try to find any reference to old name and IP address
in the forte directory and all of its subdirectories changing them to
the new ones.
    After these changes we found than forte could'nt start the nodemgr
server.
    We have too many reasons to avoid installing FORTE again.
    Does anybody know if I have to change anything more to make
nodemgr server work.
    2)
    The second question is about NAT (Network Address Translation).
    To reach a Forte Server Central Node from a Forte Client we have
to pass through a Firewall and NAT.
    We are researching and at this moment we can not reach the server
from the client, has anybody any suggestion to correctly configure
Forte (Client and Server) to use NAT between them.
    If anyone could help me I would be very pleased.
    Thank you very much in advance,

Scan to Email Error Message "cannot connect to server. check server name and address"

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus.
I've been using this printer for several months. Now am getting an ERROR message when I try to scan to email that it "cannot connect to server. check server name and address"
I'm not sure how to check this. We can all still print remotely via the internet connection.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the info.,
Did you recently change your operating system or network router that started to cause this error?

Hi,
I'm getting this error message "Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again" when I try to access my Windows computer on my home network. I never had problems before... I don't understand why this message suddenly appeared keeping me from accessing the shared folder on my XP based computer.
Thanks

This means that your Mac is not seeing your WinBox, either by IP address (a series of four sets of three numbers which might look something like this: 192.168.001.010) or by name (usually a SMB connection, which would look something like this: 'smb://winboxname' where 'winboxname' is the name of your WinBox).
Typically this means that you were connected by IP, and the target's IP address has changed.
when I try to access my Windows computer on my home network. I never had problems before...
You probably have DHCP enabled on your home net, and your WnBox's IP address has changed because its old lease expired. That kind of thing is why you should set up your net to either have fixed IP addresses or to reserve a specific IP for a specific machine, or you should use the smb name instead of the IP.
I don't understand why this message suddenly appeared keeping me from accessing the shared folder on my XP based computer.
See above. If you want to connect by IP address, you'll need to know the WinBox's IP. Go to your Start menu, select the 'Run' box, type 'cmd', hit Enter. You'll get the Windows terminal. In the terminal type 'ipconfig/all'. You'll see the IP address (and the MAC address, useful if you want to set up a reserved IP address). Ensure that the Mac is connecting to that IP. (enter 'smb://theIP' in the network connection box.)
If you want to connect by name, you'll need to know the WinBox's name. Right-click on 'my computer', select 'properties'. Click on the 'computer name' tab. There it is. Use 'smb://computername' in the network connection box.
Thanks

Did you reboot the TC? That is always the first step.
Reboot the whole network if that is not enough.
If you still have issues.. come back to us but generally the best way is to factory reset the TC and start over.
We need a bit more info on the whole network layout and what OS you are running. What model TC you have??

Changing Domain Name and IP address of a server

We have an Oracle 10G server (running on Windows) that needs to have its domain name and IP address changed. I did a search on this forum and found similar threads to this one (e.g. Rename server name & change domain Just wondering if anyone has any other comments to make that haven't been mentioned previously.
Looks like on the server side, we just have to change the listener and tnsnames.ora file. Anything else we have to worry about? (Unfortunately this is something I've never done before.)

TomF:
Yeah I know the listner SHOULD be the only thing that needs to know the server's network information. However, databases are big, complex pieces of software, and I'm just a bit paranoid that there's some system variable that needs to also get changed that I might be overlooking.
You suggested I might need to change the global_name... Upon further research, I've found references to other variables that may need to change... local_listener, remote_listner, and dispatcher. (Note: I don't have the Oracle documentation handy so I can't verify how valid those are.)

Every time I try to connect to my 2TB Airport Time Capsule I get the following message "The server may not exist or is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again." However, if I unplug it and then plug it in again, I can connect to it. How can this be corrected without having to unplug it all the time?

Are you using Yosemite??
This is stock standard yosemite bug and we have no simple fix for you..
You can fix it at its source..
Hack in DNS from Mavericks.. so Yosemite can be raised to a level of reliability above GHASTLY.. !!

Apple still have not fixed it.. and users are now sick and tired of the problem.. so have resorted to what can only be described as extreme measures.. in fact I wonder why people don't just revert to Mavericks.. or earlier.. whatever OS was reliable.. instead of seeing the latest greatest update as necessity.

1. Double click on your composite receive activity.
2. Go to Properties tab in your receive activity.
3. Click "+".
4. Window that pops up,scroll down and select "jca.ums.from" and store it in some variable say fromAddress (Make sure before adding this property u create fromAddress variable of string data type).
5. Click OK.
6. In the same way add property for "jca.ums.msg.content-description" from drop down and assing it to some variable.
you are good to go.

Server Name and Client Name

Hi Experts,
Need a Function Module which can give me the current Server Name and Client name .
Please help me out.
Thanks
Chandan

Hi,
Check out :
1. "FIND_DB_APPLICATION_SERVER" gives the server name via the export parameter "SERVERNAME" .
2. "TH_GET_ACTIVE_SERVER" gives the server name via the export parameter "SERVER" .
3. "RFC_GET_LOCAL_SERVERS" will give a list containing some info about servers, then you can use the FM "TH_USER_INFO" to get user's host address from the exporting parameter "HOSTADDR". Then you can look-up the list you retrieved by the first FM where the first four characters at the field "HOSTADR" is the same with the user's. The server name is contained at the field "NAME" of the same row.
4. sy-sysid might also be usefull
5. Try this too:
CALL 'C_SAPGPARAM'
ID 'NAME' FIELD 'rdisp/myname'
ID 'VALUE' FIELD ev_server_name.
where ev_server_name is function module export parameter of type BTCTGTSRVR-SRVNAME.
Hope it helps
Best Regards

Hi, I have private emails in IPAD2, i have chaged the incoming mail server name and saved the change.

Hi, I have private emails in IPAD2, i have chaged the incoming mail server name and saved the change.
but, when I back to read my old emails in inbox it's gone away, I have backed to setting and return the previous
incoming mail name, but also I did't get the old emails. where I can find the old emails in my IPAD2 ?

It is only the link to your emails which are 'stored' on your iPad. You will have to enter all proper email addresses to get the message associated with them, which, in practice, means multiple accounts. If all still does not work try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release].

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!

Getting host name and IP address

I have develop different types of forms which resides on server and clients are acessing it.Now from my end i want to track that which user is accessing my forms on the server i.e i want to know the client IP address and host name.When the user execute some query on the database then i will get it easily using sys_context function but if it perform some functions within the form and i catch the host name then it returns the server host name where the actual forms resides not the client host name and i want to know the client host name and IP address who is running the forms.Plz let me know the way so i can do that easily .
thanks
