Changin Hostname ...

[Dirk Deimeke]

Hi,

one Windows administrator changed the servername (hostname) of one of
our database servers.

What changes do I have to to to get my databases connected?

The catalog statements have to be adjusted, I know.

I changed the admin configuration too and I don't know what to do with
the spm name.

Server is Windows 2003 standard, DB2 Version 8.1 Fixpack 7 (with special
build).

Any hints?

Kind regards

Dirk

edit your db2nodes.cfg and replace the old hostname to new one.

the file is located on $DB2_INSTALL_PATH/sqllib/$INSTANCE_NAME/

Publish the databases in the Active Directory instead of cataloguing them on
the clients. That way you don't have to do anything whatsoever in the
clients when you change the location of a database (host rename can be
considered a location change), you merely have to alter the AD
configuration.

Talk to your system administrators. They should be very interested in
helping you use AD rather than having to recatalogue databases on hundreds
of client workstations (at least, the administrators where I've been have
always found it a good idea).

Did you issue a suitable UPDATE ADMIN CONFIGURATION command (after following
Hardy's advice)?

All the database are up and running, but I have problems to reach the
admin server ...

Unfortunately I have no access on ADS.
