Changing the Hostname/IP address

Change compute node definition relevant to the service node

Change the settings in database. Below shows a method to find out where the old IP address settings (take 10.6.0.1 as a example) are used in Hierarchy environment.

• Query the old attribute

  lsdef -t node -l | grep "10.6.0.1"
  # below is output of the above command. We can find out that nfsserver
  # and servicenode are using the old IP address setting.
  nfsserver=10.6.0.1
  servicenode=10.6.0.1
  

• Query the nodes whose nfsserver is 10.6.0.1

  lsdef -w nfsserver==10.6.0.1
  # below is output of the above command
  cn1  (node)
  cn2  (node)
  cn3  (node)
  cn4  (node)
  

• Change the nfsserver address for cn1,cn2,cn3,cn4 by running the following command:

  chdef -t node cn1-cn4 nfsserver=<new service node IP addresss>
  

Database Connection Changes

Granting or revoking access privilege in the database for the service node.

• For MySQL, refer to Granting/Revoking access to the database for Service Node Clients.

Update Provision Environment on Service Node

If you are using service nodes to install the nodes and using /etc/hosts for hostname resolution, you need to copy the new /etc/hosts from the management node to the service nodes, then run makedns -n on the service nodes. For example:

xdcp <servicenodes>  /etc/hosts /etc/hosts
xdsh <servicenodes> makedns -n

Reinstall the nodes to pick up all changes

nodeset <noderange> osimage=<osimagename>

Then use your normal command to install the nodes like rinstall, rnetboot, etc.
