7.9.5 Procedure for changing logical IP addresses in a cluster system

To change the logical IP address of a cluster system, change the host name in the Setup window and then set the following items again:

• Agent connection destinations (when specified by IP address)

• Exception connection for devices denied network access

• Connection destination in the login window of Remote Install Manager (when specified by IP address)

• The Asset Console data source

To change the logical IP address of a cluster system:

1. Stop any processing in progress in the Asset Console and Remote Install Manager.

2. Take the resources listed in 2.10.2 Procedure for creating a group resource on the primary server offline.

3. In the setup for the primary server, replace the logical IP address in the Cluster Environment view with the new IP address. Then, perform the setup process.

4. Copy the following setup file output during the setup process to the standby server:

   JP1/IT-Desktop-Management-2-Manager-installation-folder\mgr\conf\jdn_manager_setup.conf

5. Transfer the ownership of the cluster group to the standby server.

6. Initiate the setup process on the standby server, and perform the setup process specifying the setup file you copied in step 4.

7. Transfer the ownership of the cluster group back to the primary server.

8. Place the resources listed in 2.10.2 Procedure for creating a group resource on the primary server online.

The logical IP address of the cluster system is changed. Next, set the following items again:

Agent connection destinations (when specified by IP address)

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

   If you use a file for connection destinations (itdmhost.conf) to define connections to higher systems, edit the file for connection destinations (itdmhost.conf) on the agent.

   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 agent.

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

   Tip

   For details about changing the setting files, see the following:

   The file for connection destinations (itdmhost.conf)

   (2) Creating the file for connection destinations (itdmhost.conf)

   The information file for higher connection destinations (dmhost.txt)

   The description of creating an information file for higher connection destinations (dmhost.txt) in the manual JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 Distribution Function Administration Guide

   The file for higher system addresses (SERVERIP.ini)

   The description of format of file for higher system addresses in the manual JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 Distribution Function Administration Guide

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

   If a computer is off 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.

Exception connections for devices denied network access

In the Network Access Control Settings view, remove the old IP address of the management server from the Exclusive Communication Destination for Access-Denied Devices area, and add the new IP address.

Connection destination in the login window of Remote Install Manager (when specified by IP address)

If an IP address is specified in the Management server field of the login window of Remote Install Manager, change it to the new IP address.

The 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.

2. Click Create Data Source.

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

4. If an IP address is set in the Server field, replace it with the new IP address.

5. Click the OK button.

The Asset Console data source is re-created.
