33.2.15 Issues while Changing the Management IP Address in Access Gateway Appliance

If Access Gateway Appliance has two NICs (public and private), it is unable to change the Management IP address of Access Gateway Appliance to a new value.

Administration Console connects to the changed IP address, but also tries to connect to the old IP address.

Perform the following steps 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/runtime/settings.properties.

  4. Change the IP address in the Access Gateway’s config.xml file.

  5. Change the IP address in the listen.conf file.

    For information about how to modify a file, see Modifying Configurations.

  6. Using YaST, change the network IP address.

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

    For a specific Access Gateway device entry:

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

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

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

    • 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:

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

    • 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):

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

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

    For tmp folder entry:

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

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

  8. Start 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 Administration Console, Identity Server, and other Access Gateways in cluster.
