== Changing IP Addresses ==
 
Sometimes one has to change the IP Address on an i5.  Could be a relocation or whatever.  There are several places to remember to check.
 
 
 
=== Recording existing values===
 
 
 
 
 
First, record your existing values.  Maybe off to the right, write down the new address(es).
 
 
 
CFGTCP
 
1. Work with TCP/IP interfaces
 
Internet        Subnet              Line      Line
 
Address          Mask            Description  Type
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2. Work with TCP/IP routes.  This is the router or gateway this machine will go through to get to the rest of your network.  Off to the right record what the new router entries will be.
 
Route            Subnet          Next            Preferred
 
Destination      Mask            Hop              Interface
 
                                                           
 
 
 
 
 
12. Change TCP/IP domain information. If you are relocating, your network administrator may suggest replacing one or more of these with a more local DNS.  Write the new address off to the right.
 
Domain name server(s) internet address(es):
 
 
 
 
 
Sometimes one would put the interfaces recorded above into the local host table.  Record that:
 
 
 
 
 
10. Work with TCP/IP host table entries
 
Internet        Host
 
Address          Name
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Now you need to check your [[http]] configuration.  Point your browser to http://youriSeriesName:2001  When that pops up sign on as someone with [[QSECOFR]] authority.  Select Web Administration.  Select Manage, All Servers, All HTTP Servers.  Any that are bound to particular old IP addresses record those here.
 
 
 
Check for SMTP bindings.  You can either bind to "select all addresses" or bind to a specific address or addresses.  Although there are commands like ADDSMTPLE and RMVSMTPLE, I've yet to find any commands like DSPSMTPLE or WRKSMTPLE.  Therefore I recommend using [[iNav]].  Network, Servers, TCP/IP, right click on SMTP and select Properties.  Check the Bindings tab.
 
 
 
=== [[Domino]] Shop? ===
 
WRKDOMSVR
 
13=Edit NOTES.INI  by each.  Search the notes.ini file for TCPIP_TcpIpAddress.  Record the address found there below:
 
Domino server        IP Address
 
 
 
 
 
Also have your Domino administrator check Server documents for buried IP addresses.
 
 
 
 
 
=== Time to change ===
 
Now you are done recording.  Start the change.  Coordinate with your network administrator, of course.  They will need to change routers, DNS entries, etc.
 
 
 
WRKDOMSVR
 
6=End server.  Repeat for all present.
 
9=Work server jobs
 
Wait until all jobs, indented underneath the top [[subsystem]] name are ended.  Repeat for all Domino servers.
 
13=Edit NOTES.INI.  Search for TCPIP_Tcp_IpAddress.  Replace with new address.
 
Do not start them yet.
 
 
 
 
 
http://youriSeriesName:2001.  Sign on as someone with [[SECOFR]] authority.  Select Web Administration.  Select Manage, All Servers, All HTTP Servers.  Stop any that need changing.  Hopefully you did not bind 2001 to any particular address.  Change those that need changing.
 
 
 
ENDHOSTSVR *ALL
 
ENDTCP
 
CFGTCP
 
 
 
See the above information you previously recorded.  Many of these you may have to delete and readd as changing will certain fields will not be an option.
 
 
 
Fix your [[Management Central]] server by CALL QSYS/QYPSCONFIG PARM('QYPS_HOSTNAME' 'aa.xx.yy.zz') where 'aa...' is your new IP address.
 
 
 
STRTCP
 
STRHOSTSVR *ALL
 
 
 
WRKDOMSVR
 
1=Start
 
 
 
Test communications from/to this lpar by using the PING command.  Your network administrator may block pings.  However people don't often do that for internal use - just external users.
 
 
 
Test Domino from your [[Notes]] client by using File, Database, Open and using the server name(s) that you just started.  You can type in the server name or select it from the list.  You may have to select "Other" to see this server if you don't often access this particular Domino server.
 
 
 
Check any other iSeries lpars or servers for host table entries that refer to this server.
