Changing the Management IP Address of UltraVR

This operation changes the management IP address of UltraVR based on the network planning when network settings are to be adjusted after UltraVR is built.

Prerequisites

Context

Changing the password will interrupt certain services. Perform this operation when no service is running.

Procedure

  1. Modify the network configuration.

    1. Use PuTTY to log in to the UltraVR VM as user root.

      This section uses UltraVR that is deployed on a VM as an example. If UltraVR is deployed on a physical server, log in to the BMC user interface of the server for this operation.

    2. Run the TMOUT=0 command to prevent PuTTY from exiting due to session timeout.

      After you run this command, the system continues to run when no operation is performed, resulting a risk. For security purposes, you are advised to run exit to exit the system after completing your operations.

    3. Run the yast command to go to the configuration page.

    4. Choose Network Devices > Network Settings to go to the network configuration page.
    5. Press Tab to move the cursor to Edit and go to the network adapter configuration page.

    6. Manually configure the IP address, subnet mask, and node name.
      • IP Address: newly planned management plane IP address of UltraVR.
      • Subnet Mask: newly planned subnet mask of UltraVR.
    7. Press Tab to move the cursor to Next. The network adapter configuration page is displayed.
    8. Type Alt+U to go to the Routing page. In Default Gateway, enter the management plane gateway.
    9. Move the cursor to OK and press Enter. The network configuration page is displayed.
    10. Move the cursor to Quit and press Enter. The network of UltraVR is changed.

  2. Restart the process.

    1. Run cd/ installation path/Runtime/bin to enter the script save path.

      The default installation path of UltraVR is /opt/UltraVR.

    2. Run the sh shutdownSystem.sh command to stop UltraVR.

      UltraVR is stopped successfully if the following command output is displayed:

      The UltraVR service is shut down successfully.
    3. Validate the new IP address.

      CLI: run the sh clichangeweb.sh command.

    4. Run the cd command to exit the directory.
    5. Run the vi /etc/hosts command to open the hosts file.
    6. Press i to go to the edit mode and edit the hosts file.
    7. Change the IP address to the modified management IP address and the host name of the IP address is the modified host name.

      Run the ipconfig command to view the current IP address; run the hostname command to view the current host name.

    8. Press Esc, and run the :wq! command to save the change and exit.
    9. Run cd/ installation path/Runtime/bin to enter the script save path.

      The default installation path of UltraVR is /opt/UltraVR.

    10. Run the sh startSystem.sh command to start the UltraVR.

      UltraVR is started successfully if the following command output is displayed:

      System started completely.
    11. Check whether UltraVR is added to another UltraVR as the remote management server.
      • If yes, go to Step 3.
      • If no, no further action is required.
