Maintaining OVO
Changing Hostnames and IP Addresses
The command line utility will get the and
as parameters. It must exit with exit status 0
and pass the MAC address by printing the string
MAC=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX to standard output. One example of
such commandline utility is opcgetmacaddr.sh which can be
found in the /opt/OV/contrib/OpC directory on the
management server.
For more information about opc_node_change.pl script use the
-help option.
-nnmtopofix
use this option whenever you encounter problems with nodes
changed their name or IP address. Note that this option has a
high time and resource consumption.
NOTE On DCE/NCS nodes only, and for hostname only changes on OVO
managed nodes, force OVO to recreate templates in the database by
removing chached templates from the last distribution:
cd /etc/opt/OV/share/conf/OpC/mgmt_sv/templates
rm -rf ‘find . -type f‘
2. Reload the operator GUI.
NOTE Responsible operators running the Motif GUI might get an popup
message for reloading their browsers.
3. On DCE/NCS nodes only, and for hostname only changes on OVO
managed nodes, redistribute templates to all managed nodes as
follows:
a. In one of the main windows, select
Actions:Agents->Distribute
b. In the Distribute OVO Software and Configuration window,
select the component [Templates]
c. Select [Force Update] and [Nodes in list requiring update].
