7.6.1 Procedure for changing the management server host name

If you change the host name of the management server, you will need to set the following items again:

• Agent connection destinations (when specified by host name)

• Connection destination in the login window of Remote Installation Manager (when specified by host name)

• The Asset Console data source

Agent connection destinations (when specified by host name)

1. Change the setting according to the method the agent uses to connect to the higher system.

   If you use an information file for higher connection destinations (dmhost.txt) to define connections to higher systems, edit the information file for higher connection destinations on the agents.

   If you use a file for higher system addresses (SERVERIP.ini), edit the file for higher system addresses on the agents.

2. Under Management Server in the Basic Settings area of the agent configuration, specify the new host name in Host name or IP address.

   If a computer is not running when you change the agent configuration, you will need to change the setting for that agent individually in the Setup window.

The connection destination of the agent is changed.

Connection destination in the login window of Remote Installation Manager (when specified by host name)

If a host name is specified in the Management server field of the login window of Remote Installation Manager, change it to the new host name.

Asset Console data source

In the Setup window for Asset Console, use the following procedure to re-create the data source:

1. Start server setup.

3. In the Products for connection area, select JP1/Desktop Management 2 - Manager and then click the Next button.

4. If a host name is set in the Server field, replace it with the new host name.
