SPA : changing IP address

[Stephane]

Hi there,

I have change manually the IP address of one of my SPA ...
And of course, i didn't use the changeIP.sh script because i didn't know until now ...

Now i have some communication problems between my 2 SPA

How can i change the IP address of my SPA now ?

If i use the changeIP.sh, i have an error because the IP adresses don't match :

# /opt/pdconfigure/scripts/support/changeIP.sh -f 175.144.221.10 -t 172.22.120.10
"The fromip doesn't match a server agent ip address in the SPA database"

Do i have to reconfigure the IP address using YaST and then use the script ?

Old IP = 175.144.221.10 (used for installation)
New IP = 172.22.120.10 (configured manually using YaST)
Configured IP = 172.22.120.10 (show by IFCONFIG)
pdagent detected IP = 175.144.221.10 (show by pdmanage)

# /opt/pdctrl/bin/pdmanage --sessions
Agent ID     Connected from  Type         Bytes sent.  Bytes received.
10000000     175.144.221.10 pdagent      261279       24477

Thanks for the help

Could you change it back manually (reverse what you've done) and then run the script?

Seems like the easiest way if you can swing it.

I did it :

Change the IP configuration using YaST to orignial (install) config
Test replication between my 2 SPAs = OK

read the manual Administrator's Guide p322-323 :

# ip a a 172.22.120.10/24 dev eth0
(ok, no error)
# /opt/pdconfigure/scripts/support/changeIP.sh -f 175.144.221.10 -t 172.22.120.10 --allowspa

The fromip doesn't match a server agent ip address in the SPA database.

Stephane-
If the IP you are changing is a replication destination, then I think you need a different switch.

On P 325 of the admin guide there is a reference to remote SPA IP changes- where they have you use "--remote" as the last switch instead of "--allowspa".  Check that out and see if it looks like the answer.

Hi,

My problem was purely physical ... the ethernet cable was not a good one, and when i change it, my SAP was OK for replication and PING ...
