Changing Hostnames/IP Addresses
-force The name service is not consulted.
The database is not checked for
duplicate node names.
-label <label> Modifies the label of the node to
<label>. The new label is
displayed in the Node Bank.
<old_addr> The IP address of old node.
<new_addr> The IP address of new (renamed)
node.
<old_name> The node name of old node.
<new_name> The node name of new (renamed)

4. For all ITO managed nodes you want to modify:
a. Reconfigure the ITO managed node system to the new
hostname/IP-address. If you are moving from a “non-name server”
environment to a “name server” environment, make sure the
name server has access to the new hostname/IP-address.
b. Reboot your ITO managed node system.
c. If the ITO agent processes did not automatically restart when you
rebooted the system, restart them now:
/opt/OV/bin/OpC/opcagt -start
5. Perform the following procedures on your management server:
a. Stop netmon:
/opt/OV/bin/ovstop netmon
b. Remove all entries from the SNMP configuration cache:
/opt/OV/bin/xnmsnmpconf -clearCache
c. Update the creation time of objects contained in the ovtopmd
database. This will cause the objects to reappear in all maps the
next time they are synchronized:
/opt/OV/bin/ovtopofix -U
d. Restart netmon:
/opt/OV/bin/ovstart netmon
