Changing the IP address, FQDN, DNS, Gateway, or Netmask address of System Manager from CLI

Last Updated : Jun 07, 2024 |

About this task

Use this procedure to change the network configuration parameters for the Public interface and Management interface when OOBM is enabled.

Note:

To change the network parameters on a primary or secondary System Manager server in a Geographic Redundancy setup, you can use the changeIPFQDN command.

For more information about changing the IP address or FQDN in a Geographic Redundancy setup, see Changing the IP address and FQDN on the primary System Manager when the secondary is in the standby or active mode.

Important:

  • Do not change the network settings from vSphere Client (HTML5) when the virtual machine is in a power off state.

  • FQDN value must be unique and different from the virtual FQDN value of System Manager.

Before you begin

  • To reach the System Manager command-line interface, use one of the following methods:

    • Open vSphere Client (HTML5) and click the Console tab or the icon.

    • Use PuTTY.

  • Log in to System Manager with administrator privilege credentials.

  • Create the System Manager virtual machine snapshot.

    Note:

    Delete the snapshot after the System Manager operation is complete.

Procedure

  1. To configure Management network parameters, type the following:

    changeIPFQDN -IP <IPv4 address> –FQDN <FQDN> -GATEWAY <Gateway IPv4 address> -NETMASK <Netmask address> -DNS <DNS address> -SEARCH <search list of domain names> -IPV6 <IPv6 address> -IPV6GW <IPv6 Gateway address> -IPV6PREFIX <IPv6 prefix>

    For more information, see changeIPFQDN.

  2. To configure Public network parameters, type the following:

    changePublicIPFQDN -IP <IP address> –PublicFQDN <FQDN> -PublicGATEWAY <Gateway IP address> -PublicNETMASK <Netmask address>

    For more information, see changePublicIPFQDN.

Next Steps

  • Get new licenses from PLDS containing the new host ID and install the new licenses.

    After you change the IP address of System Manager, the system generates a new host ID for WebLM server that System Manager hosts. Therefore, all previously installed licenses become invalid.

    For more information about how to install a license file, see Managing Licenses in Administering Avaya Aura® System Manager.

  • After you change the IP address of System Manager, the SNMP Target Profiles must be available under the Manage Profiles > SNMP Target Profiles tab for the selected agent on the Services > Inventory > Manage Serviceability Agents > Serviceability Agents page. If the target profile is not available, create a new target profile on the Services > Inventory > Manage Serviceability Agents > SNMP Target Profiles page.

    If target profile is available with latest IP address, re-assign to the targetAddr or create a new target profile and assign to the same.
