Appendix B Reloading IP addresses after system installation

This process prompts you for the hostname, country, time-zone, and IP address to enable movement of the system after the system is installed. You can re-enter the same data that was already in those parameters if they have not changed. You can change the system identification parameters and all IP addresses binding to a single interface without having to reload the OS from a CD. This procedure is for pre-staging a system. It cannot be used on a running operational system.

The following procedure (Procedure 46, Reloading IP addresses after system installation) brings the system to the boot prompt. When the system reboots, it invokes the Solaris system identification process and then invokes the MCP commissioning script at root login. This is the same configuration procedure executed during CD installation and commissioning and is common for all MCP-supported Solaris platforms.

This procedure, called re-ipin this chapter,

•requires two system reboots to complete the configuration

•is valid for Solaris servers only

•does not modify MCP software configuration data or provisioning data

You will need the six Solaris installation CDs and the six Oracle CDs to perform this procedure.

At each configuration step you will see a summary of the configuration and can accept that configuration or change it. Once the data configuration is completed, the services will be hardened again and the system rebooted.

Completely re-install the Solaris CDs in the DBSvr and MgmtSvr/AcctMgr machines as described earlier in this document. Then re-install the Oracle CDs as described earlier in this document. Once you have completed the Oracle installation, you can unconfigure
