8.20 Issues while Changing Management IP Address on an Access Gateway Appliance

If the Access Gateway Appliance has two NICs, a public and a private NIC, it is unable to change the Management IP address of the Access Gateway Appliance to a new value. The Administration Console connects to the changed IP address, but also tries to connect to the old IP address. The following procedure allows you to change the IP address manually.

  1. Stop the AG service /etc/init.d/novell-mag stop

  2. Stop the JCC service by using the /etc/init.d/novell-jcc stop command.

  3. Change the IP address in /opt/novell/devman/jcc/conf/settings.properties file.

  4. Change the IP address in /opt/novell/nam/mag/webapps/agm/WEB-INF/config/current/config.xml file.

  5. Change the IP address in /etc/opt/novell/apache2/conf/listen.conf file.

  6. Using YaST, change the network IP address.

  7. In the Administration Console Edir, edit and change the IP address in the following attributes:

    • For a specific Access Gateway device entry:

      1. romaAGDeviceXMLDoc of ou=ag-xxxxxx, ou=AppliancesContainer, ou=Partition, ou=PartitionsContainer, ou=VCDN_Root, ou=accessManagerContainer, o=novell

      2. romaAGDeviceSAXMLDoc of ou=ag-xxxxxx, ou=AppliancesContainer, ou=Partition, ou=PartitionsContainer, ou=VCDN_Root, ou=accessManagerContainer, o=novell

      3. romaAGConfigurationXMLDoc of ou=WorkingConfig, ou=ag-xxxx, ou=AppliancesContainer, ou=Partition, ou=PartitionsContainer, ou=VCDN_Root, ou=accessManagerContainer, o=novell

      4. romaAGConfigurationXMLDoc of ou=CurrentConfig ou=ag-xxxx, ou=AppliancesContainer, ou=Partition, ou=PartitionsContainer, ou=VCDN_Root, ou=accessManagerContainer, o=novell

    • For the specific Access Gateway (esp)-identity server entry:

      1. romaIDPDeviceSAXMLDoc of ou=idp-esp-xxxxxx, ou=AppliancesContainer, ou=Partition, ou=PartitionsContainer, ou=VCDN_Root, ou=accessManagerContainer, o=novell

      2. romaIDPDeviceXMLDoc of ou=idp-esp-xxxxxx, ou=AppliancesContainer, ou=Partition, ou=PartitionsContainer, ou=VCDN_Root, ou=accessManagerContainer, o=novell

    • For other Access Gateway device entry (if they are in a cluster):

      1. romaAGConfigurationXMLDoc of ou=WorkingConfig, ou=ag-yyyy, ou=AppliancesContainer, ou=Partition, ou=PartitionsContainer, ou=VCDN_Root, ou=accessManagerContainer, o=novell

      2. romaAGConfigurationXMLDoc of ou=CurrentConfig, ou=ag-yyyy, ou=AppliancesContainer, ou=Partition, ou=PartitionsContainer, ou=VCDN_Root, ou=accessManagerContainer, o=novell

    • For tmp folder entry:

      1. romaAGConfigurationXMLDoc of ou=CurrentConfig, ou=tmp_zzz, ou=AppliancesContainer, ou=Partition, ou=PartitionsContainer, ou=VCDN_Root, ou=accessManagerContainer, o=novell

      2. romaAGConfigurationXMLDoc of ou=WorkingConfig, ou=tmp_zzz, ou=AppliancesContainer, ou=Partition, ou=PartitionsContainer, ou=VCDN_Root, ou=accessManagerContainer, o=novell

  8. Start the Access Gateway service by using the /etc/init.d/novell-mag start command.

  9. Start the JCC service by using the /etc/init.d/novell-jcc start command.

  10. Restart the Administration Console, Identity Server and other Access Gateways in cluster.
