Issue/Introduction

Introduction:

• Time estimate: 30 minutes
• Take Snapshot of vRLCM (No Memory and No Quiescing)
• Modify existing DNS records to accommodate new IP Address
• Re-IP address using built in script 

 

 

Note: Your session will be disconnected as soon as it says “Reconfiguring eth0” which is expected as the IP Address changed

• • Open a new SSH session and execute the same command to display the new network configuration
  • Additional validation is to check by rebooting the vRLCM VA and review its state.
  • You can also access the system settings and check the new configuration.
