Changing IP Address?

» close window

The Question is:

 
We need to change the IP address for the Vaxes in our cluster to match the new
 IP addresses in the network. We have "UCX"  DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for our
 OpenVMS product. Where do we need to make the new IP changes?
 

The Answer is :

 
  Information on changing the IP host addresses is mentioned in various
  existing topics, and part or all of this answer has been replicated
  into the following existing discussion threads:
 
    (430), (1069), (3991), (5777), (5906), (7710), (8004), etc.
 
  There are other discussions related to IP addressing, including IP
  subnetting and IP supernetting.
 
  On TCP/IP Services package versions prior to V5.0, you will want to
  use the UCX$CONFIG tool when you wish to change your IP host address.
  With TCP/IP Services V5.0 and later, you will want to use the
  TCPIP$CONFIG tool.
 
  Please consider reviewing the available product documentation for
  TCP/IP Services, as well.  The documentation will provide insight
  into the operations of TCP/IP Services and the configuration tool.
 
  The OpenVMS FAQ contains pointers to the documentation website; to
  to the website with the OpenVMS operating system and the TCP/IP
  Services HTML-format product documentation.
 
  Versions V5.3 and later of OpenVMS and TCP/IP Services have support
  for DHCP client.  DHCP can obviously ease IP addressing and IP host
  configuration requirements.
