Changing the IP Address of a CMS Server

[SamuelK]

We have an old CMS server (no longer supported by Avaya) that's running CMS version 7 on a Sun server. The IP address needs to be changed (currently, the server is sitting on the old network, and all traffic is being routed to it via our network firewall) to our new network scheme, but we've been told that changing the IP address could affect the operation of the server/database.

Does anyone know what needs to be done to *cleanly* change the CMS server's IP address?

I had to do it on my CMS R12 last year. This is from my notes.

Login as root and follow these setps:

1) “cd /etc”
2) “chmod 777 hosts” (changes file to Read/write)
3) “vi hosts”
4) change the IP address for the appropriate switch (using vi editing vi commands listed below)
5) ":" to end editing
6) "wq" to save hosts file and exit
7) "chmod 444 hosts" (changes file back to Read-only)

Basic vi editing commands
change mode: esc
insert: i
delete char: x
delete line: dd
end editing: :
end wo saving: q!
end and savie: wq
