22.5 Changing the host name or domain name of an NNMi management server
- Important
-
If the NNMi management server participates in NNMi application failover or participates global network management feature or contact your support representative for assistance.
If you have configured the NNMi management server to connect to the directory service via SSL, you will need to add the certificate of directory server to the NNMi truststore, again. After following the steps in this section, please follow the steps in 10.3.8 Configuring an SSL connection to the Directory service.
To change the NNMi management server's host name, domain name, or both, set NNMi to use the NNMi management server's new fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
Example:
nnmsetofficialfqdn.ovpl -force newnnmi.servers.example.com
After executing nnmsetofficialfqdn.ovpl, restart NNMi to apply the configuration.
For details, see the nnmsetofficialfqdn.ovpl Reference Page.
- Important
-
The FQDN is a host name combined with a domain name. If you change either of these, you are changing the NNMi management server's FQDN. SSL certificates are always linked to the FQDN. The common name (CN) field in the certificate must match the server FQDN. Therefore, if you change the FQDN, you must obtain a new SSL certificate with a matching CN. The nnmsetofficialfqdn.ovpl command updates the NNMi management server's FQDN and it also creates a new self-signed certificate, which matches the new FQDN. However, if you are using CA certificates, you must generate the new CA certificate. For details, see 10.3.2 Generating a CA-Signed Certificate.
If you change the IP address of the NNMi management server (regardless of whether the FQDN changes), you must obtain a new license. For details, see 22.4 Changing the IP address of a stand-alone NNMi management server.
