This topic describes how to change the IP address
for a metadata server.
Context
This change requires the server to go offline and be rebooted.
Steps
- Reassign statically-assigned filesets so the filesets are no longer
served by the metadata server as
necessary.
- Drop the metadata server for
which you want to change the IP address. You can use the dropserver command.
- Reconfigure the engine that the metadata server resides
on so that the engine uses the new IP address. You need to edit the appropriate
Linux configuration files and issue the Linux route and ipconfig administrative
commands.
- Run the setupsfs utility to create a new instance of the metadata
server on the engine and specify the new Server IP address.
- Add the new metadata server to
the cluster from the master metadata server using
the addserver command or the Add a server to Cluster action
from the Servers panel.
