Description
Modifying
the IP address requires that you reboot the metadata server before
the changes are applied.
Tip: If you run this command from
an engine hosting a subordinate metadata server, you can change configuration
settings only for the local server. If you run this command from an engine
running the master metadata server, you can change configuration settings
for any metadata server.
This command does not modify the IP address
on the engine. This command informs the SAN File System about which IP address
to use in case of a dual-network interface. To modify the IP address or any
other network setting on the engine, use the operating system commands.
Attention: If there is an incorrect LDAP setting defined on the
metadata server, the
administrative agent cannot
authenticate access with the LDAP server, thereby rendering the system unusable.
All administrative functions are denied, and the cause of the fault is listed
in the cimom.log file. If an incorrect configuration renders the
administrative agent unusable,
you can reset the configuration using this procedure:
- Log in to the the operating system on engine hosting master metadata server.
- Stop the CIMOM using the stopCimom command.
- Edit the tank.properties file located in /usr/tank/admin/config and
enter the appropriate overrides. Metadata server overrides are provided with
the existing TANK_NORMAL_OPTS option in the tank.properties file. These take
effect when the metadata server is
restarted.
- Restart the CIMOM using the startCimom command. If metadata server configurations
were changed, stop and restart the metadata server using
the stopserver and the startserver commands.
- Use the chserverconfig command to modify the
settings.
Tip: You will not see the effect of the change at this
time because the administrative agent is
working from the override settings. administrative agent sees
the new settings when it is restarted. In addition, a log message is generated
each time an overridden parameter is modified to remind you to remove the
tank.properties override file.
- Remove the tank.properties override file and restart the CIMOM using
the stopCimom and the startCimom commands.
