IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1
Change the IP address or host name of the Managing Server
These are instructions for changing the IP address or fully qualified host name of a Managing Server. Furthermore, you need to make modifications on the data collector. Changing the IP address or fully qualified host name of a Managing Server without updating the associated data collectors with that change disrupts communication and causes policies to fail.
To change the IP address or fully qualified host name:
- Stop the Managing Server.
- Stop the instance of WAS that is being used by the Managing Server.
- Change the IP address or fully qualified host name on the Managing Server.
- Change the corresponding system configuration for the data collector server to access the Managing Server by host name.
- Start the instance of WAS that is being used by the Managing Server.
- Start the Managing Server.
- Reconfigure the data collector by running the Configuration Tool. In the process, select Recollect Managing Server information in the Managing Server information summary panel. See the IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for WebSphere: Distributed data collector Installation and Customization Guide.
- Restart the instance of the application server monitored by the data collector.
