Change of IP address after installation of 8.1 DS on AIX mc

Post by sachinnilose »

Hi,

we have Datastage enterprise edition 8.1 installed on AIX system(some IP Address say OLDIP) and now because of some IT planning need to change the existing IP address with new IP address (say NEWIP).
My server name is same only the IP address is changed.
After changed IP Adress, When I checked to start WAS services (startServer.sh) I am unable to start the same.
When I checked in the WAS error log I can see start service still referin to OLDIP.
1)
Can anyone of you help me with assisting the configuration I need to update in WAS.
2)
Does XMETA also store IP address information in some tables.

Thanks
Sachin

I think you will not be able to create new project.

Changing ip address is not as simple. If fact changine ip address is a big process.

While I haven't experimented with version 8 configurations as much, at Versions 7 and before the critical issue was not the actual IP address but the hostname of the DataStage server, which could not be changed after installation, since that name is hardcoded at installation time in several places. I believe that the IP address underlying the name could be changed with all those previous releases but, as mentioned before, am not sure if that will still work at Version 8 and above with the implementation of the new functionality and WebSphere.
