Changing the Network Settings Of a JSA Console in a Multi-system Deployment

To change the network settings in a multi-system JSA deployment, remove all managed hosts, change the network settings, add the managed hosts again, and then reassign the component.

  • You must have a local connection to your JSA console

  • JSA Console only: If you are adding a network adapter to either physical appliance or a virtual machine, you must shut down the appliance before you add the network adapter. Power on the appliance before you follow this procedure.

JSA Console only:

Note:

You cannot change the IP address of any host to the IP address of a previously deleted Managed Host.

To change the network settings in a multi-system JSA deployment, remove all managed hosts, change the network settings, add the managed hosts again, and then reassign the component.

  1. To remove managed hosts, log in to JSA.

    The Username is admin.

    1. Click the Admin tab.

    2. Click the System and License Management icon.

    3. Select the managed host that you want to remove.

    4. Select Deployment Actions >Remove Host.

    5. In the Admin tab, click Deploy Changes.

  2. Type the following command: qchange_netsetup.
    Note:

    If you attempt to run qchange_netsetup over a serial connection, the connection can be misidentified as a network connection. To run over a serial connection use qchange_netsetup -y. This command allows you to bypass the validation check that detects a network connection.
    Note:

    JSA Console only: Verify all external storage which is not /store/ariel or /store is not mounted.

  3. Follow the instructions in the wizard to complete the configuration.

    The following table contains descriptions and notes to help you configure the network settings.
