See sk24786: Changing external IP address of stand-alone machine for that step ! I first thought you are just changing license interface ip, not external.

Itx exactly the same. Make sure new license is tied to correct IP...I never even had to do cpstop/cpstart to make this work, just open smart update and do get licenses option, install database and thats it.

Hi the_rock,

If based on your sharing, you are doing these steps as below?

 

1. change the ip address of the standalone device's license interface

2. open smartupdate, and insert the new license

3. open smartdashboard, change the host ip address (general section), and edit the interface ip (topoogy section)

4. save and install policy to make the changes take effect

Yes, but I would do 3 and then 2 🙂

Hi @the_rock and @G_W_Albrecht ,

I just think about the impact if the IP in the /etc/hosts didn't change. May i know you guys have any idea on this?

 

Thank you.

Actually the license ip i mentioned is a production internal ip, not an ip just for license purpose only. Hence, I have such concern (on the /etc/hosts).

 

I just misclick the accept as solution button on your reply.

I would say regardless if its internal or external, /etc/hosts should reflect that.

Thanks for your all feedbacks and patience on my question.

You should first change the IP in GAiA WebGUI and then load interfaces with topology in Dashboard. Then Install Database on SMS, publish and use SmartUpdate to correct licenses. Policy install as a test if all works is good...
