About this task

Follow this procedure to configure network interface settings for a Software-Only server.

Procedure

  1. Log in as root.
  2. From the command line, type the following command:

    noteNote

    AE Services strongly recommends using a Linux utility such as /usr/bin/system-config-network if you are using Linux® Operating System Release 4.

  3. Update the /etc/hosts file with the new IP address(es) for the network interfaces.
  4. From the command line, as a precautionary step, type /sbin/service network restart.
  5. Log in to the AE Services Management Console again using the new IP address of AE Services server.
    noteNote

    If the AE Services Management Console is not responding in a reasonable amount of time, from the command prompt, type the following command: /sbin/service tomcat5 restart

  6. From the AE Services Management Console main menu, select Administration > Network Configuration > Local IP.
  7. On the AE Service IP (Local IP) page, verify that the IP address(es) for Client Connectivity, Switch Connectivity, and Media Connectivity is set to the new IP address(es) you entered in the /etc/hosts file.
  8. From the command line, type the following command:

    /opt/mvap/bin/setAlarmSvcUpgrade.sh

  9. From the AE Services Management Console main menu, select Maintenance > Service Controller.
  10. From the Service Controller page, click Restart AE Server.
  11. Make sure all services are in the Running state, and that the connection state to the switch(es) is functional.
    noteNote

    If you can not access the AE Services Management Console, check the status of the httpd and tomcat5 processes. If they are not running, start them. For example, type the following commands:

    • /sbin/service httpd status

    • /sbin/service httpd start

    • /sbin/service tomcat5 status

    • /sbin/service tomcat5 start
