Hi i need to change the name and the ip of a vif interface on a 7-mode netapp filer could you please advise me on the best way first i m thinking of editing /etc/hosts with wordpad by cifs acess
name:f-ammout new name f-ammout_old
vif inteface: giga0
here content of hosts file ...
127.0.0.1 localhost
old_ip f-ammout f-ammout-giga0
... so by changing it like
new ip f-ammout_old f-ammout_old-giga0
save the file with wordpad then editing rc file
content of rc file ...
#Regenerated by registry Thu Aug 02 10:27:43 EEST 2012
hostname f-ammout
timezone Europe/Istanbul
vif create single giga0 e0a e0b
....
savecore ...
so changing on the rc file only the hostname like below
hostname f-ammout_old
and save the file
then by console launching command
hostname f-ammout_old
now changing the ip of the vif interface giga0 online to block acess to the old filer to users and do some stuff
ifconfig giga0 down
ifconfig giga0 0.0.0.0
ifconfig giga0 new_ip
ifconfig giga0 up
then after stuff done reboot the filer
can you please tell me is this a correct steps for the opération ?
