VTP domain name change

we have a number of campus LANs that for historical reasons, all have the same VTP domain name (even though they are seperate domains).
we'd like to change the domain names so that they are unique throughout the network. is the correct method of acheiving this:-
1 change VTP server to Transparent Mode
2 change VTP domain on 'server' to new domain
3 change all Client switches on campus to Transparent mode and change domain name to new one. change mode back to Client and then restart.
any advice appreciated
thanks
andy

Hi Andy,
I believe you have 2 VTP servers in your network with different VTP domain names and both VTP servers are playing role seperately for their VTP domains? Correct me if I am wrong?
If I am right you can go ahead with your plan and change your one VTP server which you waan sync with your other VTP server to transparent mode and then chage the VTP domain name then change it back to server mode so that you can also have 2 VTP servers in same VTP domain for any emmergency.
Talking about clients you can follow the same procedure as changing from client to transparent, then change the domain name and then back to client and you need not reload your switches.
Also remember while doing all these when you move your one VTP server and clients to different VTP domain name the VLAN information will get override by VLAN information persisting on your other VTP server and if this is what you want just go ahead.
Devang I did not undersood your BPDU stuff in this context can you please throw more light on the same.
Regards,
Ankur

4503 VTP Domain Name

I have a lab that consists of 2 - 4503 with SUPII running cat4000-i9s-mz.122-25.EWA14.bin as the core devices. I have been practicing for the BCMSN test and was working with the different VTP confiuration options. Here are the two issues that I am having. One of which from reading other posts, I may have answered, but want to verify.
1- 4503 (Core_1) was configured as Server, but no VTP summary advertisements where being propegated to the other clients. I verified the configuration multiple times to ensure accuracy. All VTP Domain names where empty (factory default). Not until I changed the VTP Domain name to Test, did I get propegation of vtp advertisements. I have in the past been able to set up vtp on 3550, 3560 switches with no VTP Domain name and VTP worked as expected. From reading, it appears the non propegation of vtp summary advertisements is the norm for 4503. Can someone verity this.
2- How do you remove the VTP Domain name from the 4503? I was able to remove the name from the other devices, 3550, 3560 by doing the following:
     del flash:vlan.dat
      wr er
      reload
     On the 4503 I did the following:
      Switch#del /r /f cat4000_flash:vlan.dat
      reload
     After reload, everything was back. I also assumed when the 4503 was booting, it may have recieved the VTP information from the other 4503. So I isolated both by disconnecting the uplinks to all other devices. Still no go. I have copied the start-up config to a tftp server, modified the config by removing all vtp information then copied back to running-config and this worked. But it seems like there should be a better (easier) way of getting the vtp domain name removed on a 4503

Hi,
Deleting the vlan.dat from cisco switches will delete the complete vlan and vtp information from database and if you are not able to delete the domain name in these type of situation try configuring the some bogus name with mode as transperent mode so that other should not get impacted.
check out the below link for more information

Connection Errors to Remote Desktop from OSX after Domain name change

We have an issue using Microsoft Remote Desktop from Macs in our school. All was well until we changed the domain name of our RDS servers and installed a new wildcard certificate. Connections work perfectly in Windows 7/8 and also iOS on iPads, but we cannot
get any Macs to connect having tried OSX 10.7 and 10.9. The error message says the connection failed to load but seems to add a spurious end to the connection string - TS/en-US/Default.aspx - but we cannot trace where this is being picked up.
We can get to the site in a web browser and sign in to receive the "browser not supported" message in Safari so traffic is obviously getting to the severs.
Has anyone else had a similar issue? We have spent days poking around with DNS etc but can't seem to make any progress here.

Hi Jeremy,
I have tried removing connections and also re-installing the App. We have been using this App since January with no real issues until we made our domain name change - I really don't understand why it works fine in Windows and iOS but not OSX. We are doing
nothing different to what we have done from day 1.
Log file from our old connection when it was working looked like this:

Domain Name Change in CSS

We have a CSS doing HTTP load balancing. There is no SSL termination done on this device.
will the domain name change have any impact on the load balancer?
thanks
sathappan

If you see the domain name in your CSS config, then yes there will be an impact.
Otherwise, no.
By default we do not check the domain name.

Domain Name Change procedure

Can anyone tell me which are the changes to do in the alui portal when the domain name change ? Which are the files to modify ? Does any tool exist to automate the task ?
ex : portal.toto.com became portal.titi.corporate.com

I'm interested to any solutions too.
For instance, my solution was to find and change all configuration files with a command line like "find . -name "*.xml""...
But you have also to change configuration inside the portal, like all remote web services addresses
I think it's not so easy to change the domain name

Domain Name Change Disabling Keys

I'm told that our domain name change from hhp.umd.edu to
sph.umd.edu will disable the Contribute keys.
Is that correct and if so, how do I get new keys that are
usable with the new domain?
thanks for your assistance.
daniel

I have a related question. I have about 20 different
connections that I have set up manually. Now that our domain login
has changed the connections are no longer there. Where is that
information stored. I'd like to recover it.

Domain name change broke oms/agents/grid control

We merged with another company and the domain names changed for all servers last weekend. I fixed all servers (tnsnames, listner.ora and db_domain parameter), so sqlplus works and all processes work.
My question is: which parameters do I need to change in the agents and the oms for gridcontrol to work again. Where are those parameters? Is there any documentation I can follow?
Thanks.

Hi.
if the domain name from EM GC has changed you need to migrate the repository
and reinstall the oms.

Have you checked your web cache log files for errors? Also check the %ORACLE_HOME%\opmn\log directory as there are many log files which can be helpful resolving your issue.

Internet Email Domain Name Change

Mangagement wants our email domain name changed because of it's length. Another government agency handles hosting for us now and can't change it for us. I have paid for a new name using a company on the internet and now have to switch it over. I see, in console one, that I can create a second name in Tools -> Groupwise System Operations -> Internet addressing and then set one of them to preffered. Can I do this and then set the new name as preferred? I would like to allow email that is addressed to the old email domain name to flow to the users for 30 days. Looks like I will need to change the foriegn ID in the gwia and also the name in the internal groupwise domain properties. Is there anything else that needs to be done? Is this the best way to do this? Thanks

assuming there's no po/user/domain overrides of IA settings, that should
work ok.

VTP Domain Name and Transparent Mode

Can two switches connect via a trunk, one as a server and one as transparent and be in two different VTP domains respectively?

Hi Guys,
For the error messgae below:
Error Message DTP-5-DOMAINMISMATCH: Unable to perform trunk negotiation on port
[chars] because of VTP domain mismatch.
This you will got only when you have an automatic trunk negotiation using the DTP (dynamic trunking protocol) between the switches. The switches with different VTP domain name will not negotiate a trunk and a trunk will not form. But if you configure a trunk manually (not using DTP) then the trunk will work.
HTH, Please rate if this helps

Question about RAC 10g on server running AIX and domain name changes

We have several 10g clusters running on IBM p-Series AIX servers, and our company is changing the domain name for our network. I am concerned that if we do not change the domain names in the TNSNAMES.ora file and also the /etc/hosts file on each server, the cluster will no longer function. We are using CRS (version 10.2.0.3) and ASM within each cluster.
Does anyone know where I can find information about changing the domain name that was set up as part of the CRS and database installs for RAC? Does anyone have experience doing this, and would be willing to share a few insights? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

You may be able to use the VIPCA utility for RAC to change or modify the public and private settings for your domain names on AIX. Also, the Oracle 10g DBCA "Database Configuration Assistant" should be of use to change your settings for your RAC environment.
Also, see here for a good IBM Redbook that covers Oracle 10g RAC on AIX platforms:

Domain name changes when sent to external mail ids

Here's the problem...
We are sending PO's as pdf's to the vendor..
If the vendor domain name is vendor.com and mine is company.com.
SAP sends a mail
To [email protected] ;[email protected]
CC : [email protected]
When the mail reaches the vendor it shows as
To [email protected] ;[email protected]
CC : [email protected]
the domain name of person2 gets changed though person2 does get the mail...and when the purchase manager at the company looks at it in his inbox - it looks as it should be.
I checked SOST it shows the correct mail id.This is not specific to a particular domain occurs with all domains .
Has anyone encountered such a problem before.
Regards
Rani

Hello Navjot,
if you have some basis background you can check TCode SCOT there you can see if the mail connect for external mails is configured correctly. There shoud be at least a node for SMTP communication. If there is such node check that sending s not restricted to certain adresses. Furthermore you could check over the menu if the default domain is set properly.
Kind Regards
Roman

11g grid - domain name change

Hi
i have installed oracle 11g grid ( both rdbms repository and OMS on the same linux server 5.5) but now my domain name has changed slightly ...
do I need to change anything ?
does this require full reinstallation of grid ?
oracle v 11.2.0.2
I am trying to install the agent thru grid wizard but its coming back with a warning ..
WARNING : Expected result: The management server must be reachable from the target node via HTTP(S). Actual Result: HTTP url http://mygrid_server.old_domain_name.cm:4889/agent_download/ is not reachable from the target node Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
RECOMMENDATION : If there is a firewall configured between the management server and target node, ensure that the HTTP(S) ports of the management server are open
thanks
Edited by: user9198889 on Dec 29, 2010 9:59 AM

Assuming the hostname changed on the host where the OMS and repository reside due to the domainname change, I would reinstall. You could update the emoms.properties file and reboot the OMS but not sure that would do the trick.
you can get details on updating the emoms.properties via emctl here: https://support.us.oracle.com/oip/faces/secure/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?id=1111894.1&h=Y
Let me know.
Thanks
