Hello

We need to change IP on our RSS server.

Is it possible to reconnect with the main server without resetting informix (main server) ?

Thanks

You can do this on the primary:

onmode -wm NS_CACHE='host=0,service=0,user=900,group=0,sqlhosts=0'

Wait about 30 seconds to insure that the DNS has been polled, then set it back to what it was (these are the defaults):

onmode -wm NS_CACHE='host=900,service=900,user=900,group=900,sqlhosts=900'

That should allow the server to recognize the secondary at the new IP.

Hi,

We don't use DNS but /etc/hosts

that could work ?

Hi,

Do not forget to update the primary's IP in /etc/hosts.equiv, if you use it, and if it contains IP, not name.

Sincerely,
Dennis
