Hi, I'm using oVirt 3.2 and I need to change the IP address of the main datastore of a cluster. Through the UI I'm not able to do it. How could I do this?
IIRC, if you only change the IP address and not the hostname, the engine does not care. You'll naturally have to take care of keeping network access working (firewalling etc), might need to reboot the engine and/or hosts. I didn't try that.
i don't recall the steps for 3.2, but worth mentioning that in 3.3 this should work via:
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/17408 http://www.ovirt.org/Changing_Engine_Hostname
It provides a script /usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/bin/ovirt-engine-rename which allows changing the engine's hostname.
Indeed. And this script is only needed when changing the hostname, not the IP address.
It's otopi-based. This means, among other things, that it looks similar to the new engine-setup/cleanup, and provides similar logging, options, etc.
Options specific to it: --newname=<newname>
An example run, which does everything in batch and does not ask questions, if possible: /usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/bin/ovirt-engine-rename --newname=ovirte1n.home.local --otopi-environment="OSETUP_RENAME/forceIgnoreAIAInCA=bool:'True' OVESETUP_CORE/engineStop=bool:'True' OSETUP_RENAME/confirmForceOverwrite=bool:'False'"
didi - i think above example should be added to the wiki feature page?
Added to the link above. It has no "feature page", as in something under ovirt.org/Features with the format of the pages there. Also removed "DRAFT" and a few other minor changes, as what's there is basically correct. -- Didi
