To Change the Hostname or IP Address of the
Management Server
To change the hostname or IP address of the management server, follow
these steps:
1. De-install the OVO agent software from the management
server.
Before changing the hostname of the management server, you must
de-install the OVO agent software from the management server. To
find out how to de-install the agent software, see the section
“De-installing OVO Software from the Managed Nodes” on page 64.
2. Request new licenses from the HP Password Delivery
Service.
For more information about OVO licensing, see the OVO Installation
Guide for the Management Server.
3. Stop all OVO processes on your management server.
Stop the manager, agent, and GUI processes running on the system:
a. Stop all running OVO GUIs by selecting Map:Exit.
b. Stop the OVO agents on your management server by entering:
/opt/OV/bin/ovc -kill
c. Stop the OVO manager processes by entering:
/opt/OV/bin/ovstop ovctrl
d. Verify that no OVO processes are running by entering:
ps -eaf | grep opc
ps -eaf | grep ovc
e. If an OVO process is still running, kill it manually by entering:
kill
All OVO intelligent agents on OVO managed nodes start
buffering their messages.
