Mark,

one way to change the AIXs IP is:

1) stop all applications (eg TSM)
2) run sh /etc/tcp.clean and sh /etc/nfs.clean ( from the console cause
this stopps AIX networking )
3) remove Network devices ( eg. rmdev -l en0 -d and rmdev -l ent0 -d )
4) run cfgmgr to recreate the devices ( the are now *very* clean )
5) run smitty tcpip-> minimum configuration and startup ( fill in all
required information ) - starts the network
6) check /etc/hosts for possible inconsistences ( e.g. doubled hostname )
7) retsart you applications


be carfull to also update your client dsm.sys if you are not using DNS
resolution - otherwise keep your DNS info in a consitent state.

Subject:  IP change on AIX


Hello everyone, This is not directly related to TSM, but we are in the
process of changing all of our IP addresses. On our TSM server, we are
running AIX 4.3.2. Most of our file servers are Novell, so it's much easier
to change IP.
Is there a simple one time program to run , that will make the changes for
me???? Thanks!

Thanks, Mark Hayden
