Hi Keith,

Do you mean changing the IP of the zenoss server itself? If so, I had to do that on my 3.2.1 server and it was fine.  It didn't require anything unusual. In my case, I had to edit some firewall rules that had my old zenoss IP address referenced, but that was it.

Joan,

Thanks for the response.

I will let you know if that is all I have to do on 4.2.

I know one time I did an IP change and the only thing that happened was that it broke Rabbit-MQ. It was not able to start. I believe the fix was to input the new IP address in /etc/hosts next to your local addresses then restart the Rabbit-MQ server. I guess without it, Zenoss won't start.

Well I have some information that I left out.  Along with moving the IP address I need to change the hostname. When I change the hostname rabbit-MQ will start fine but the issue is I have two rabbit-MQ databases.  Zenoss still shows information from the old database. How do I point Zenoss to the new database?

Thanks for all your help

I ended up having to do a rebuild of the server. I was tracing a smtp error that I could not find on the zenoss server. But after I reimaged the server the I change the IP address no problem.

thanks for everyones help.

I also had issues orginally when I changed from dhcp to a static address in the virtual Centos appliance. I searched and found various changes that needed to be made. Shortly after that other issues caused me to have to build a new server. When I made changes in the following order I had no issues changing the host name and IP address to static.

Stop zenoss

Create the following file:
/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf

HOSTNAME=localhost
http://community.zenoss.org/mailto:NODENAME=***@localhost NODENAME=***@localhost


Reboot the server

Change hostname
/etc/hosts

Set static address information
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Set HostName
/etc/sysconf/network

Set DNS
/etc/resolv.conf

Set Time Zone
mv /etc/localtime /etc/localtime.bak
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago /etc/localtime

(We are in the Central time zone)

Reboot
