2.3.1 When JP1/IM - Agent is used as agent

Organization of this subsection

(1) Work needed right after changing manager IP address

This subsection explains the tasks you must perform immediately after the IP address of a manager is changed.

(a) Necessary tasks in JP1/Base

You must first terminate JP1/Base on the manager whose IP address has been changed, and then restart it.

(b) Necessary tasks related to the IM database

When a manager's IP address is changed, you must first terminate the IM database, and then restart it.

(2) Tasks to be performed when the IP address of a manager is changed

(a) IP address that was set using a status change condition for the monitoring object

If an IP address that was set in the Status-Change Condition Settings window or the Common Condition Detailed Settings window needs to be changed, you must change the IP address specification in each setting window.

After setting the IP address, restart the system. For details, see 2.3.2(3) How to restart the system if you change the IP address of the manager or JP1/Base.

(b) Using IM Configuration Management

If you are using IM Configuration Management, start IM Configuration Management - View before collecting host information.

(c) IP address of the host where Intelligent Integrated Management Base runs

After you change the IP address of the host on which the Intelligent Integrated Management Base runs, you need to restart JP1/IM - Manager. In addition, if you are using a plug-in customized by the user, handle the situation according to the specification of the plug-in. For details about how to start JP1/IM - Manager, see 3.1 Starting JP1/IM - Manager.

Note that after you change the IP address of the host serving as the IM management node, you do not have to do anything.

(d) IP address listed in the server certificate used by JP1/IM - Agent

■ Changing the Integration Manager Host IP address

  1. Shut down JP1/IM - Manager.

  2. Updating with a server certificate that reflects changes in IP addressing.

    For details on updating the certificate, see Setup the certificate in 1.19.3(1)(b) Change settings of JP1/IM - Agent management base (for Windows) of the JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Configuration Guide manual.

    Note that this step is not required if the certificate does not contain the old IP address.

  3. Start JP1/IM - Manager.

■ Changing IP address of the Integration Manager Host in a Cluster System

  1. Shut down JP1/IM agent management base.

  2. Updating with a server certificate that reflects changes in logical IP address.

    For details on updating the certificate, see Setup the certificate in 7.3.3(9)(a) Setup changes for JP1/IM agent management base and 8.3.3(9)(a) Setting changes for JP1/IM agent management base of the JP1/Integrated Management 3 - Manager Configuration Guide.

    Note that this step is not required if the certificate does not contain the old IP address.

  3. Start JP1/IM agent management base.

(3) Tasks to be performed when IP address for agent is changed

(a) IP addressing for agent

You do not need to change the settings if any of the following conditions is true: If applicable, it is affected by agent's IP address changes, so a configuration change is required.

  • When the listen address is set with IP address

    This is affected if the listen address of JP1/IM - Agent process is specified with IP address.

    Check the procedure for changing the port of each process, and if the listen address is set, set it again.

  • If the certificate contains IP addressing data

    You must reposition the modified certificate to the new IP address.

(b) IP addresses monitored by Blackbox exporter

Blackbox exporter target is specified by the hostname.

Changing IP address does not require any configuration changes in agent.

(c) IP addresses of the host where Intelligent Integrated Management Base runs

After you change the IP address of the host on which the Intelligent Integrated Management Base runs, you need to restart JP1/IM - Manager. In addition, if you are using a plug-in customized by the user, handle the situation according to the specification of the plug-in. For details about how to start JP1/IM - Manager, see 3.1 Starting JP1/IM - Manager.

Note that after you change the IP address of the host serving as the IM management node, you do not have to do anything.

(d) Cluster system IP address

This is the same as 2.3.1(3)(a) IP addressing for agent.

However, note the following:

  • To start or stop integrated agent services, use the cluster software.

  • Perform the modification on both the active server and the standby server.

  • You must restart integrated agent service after changing IP addressing.

(e) IP addressing for containers

No configuration changes are required.
