hello,
in preparation to change the ip address of a server
(10.3.9) running my od master, i ran the changeip
command as syntax in the man page and various
docs (server wiki, afp548), net set the new ip in net
prefs and rebooted.
assuming that it had worked i found the od slaves
could not authenticate and further investigation
found that they were still trying to use the password
server at the old ip address. got around that by
setting up an alias to the old ip address on the od
master. then after firing up wgm on the master
i discovered that directory location is still
old_server_name/LDAPv3/127.0.0.1. slapcat
confirms this in the dump of the ldap db: the db
still has the old name and ip address therein.
since the docs don't detail what changeip
actually does (or did i miss that?) can one assume
that changing the ip and name in the ldap db part of
its function? ( would be helpful of changeip
displayed even minimal verbosity when it runs )
if so, what might be some conditions that cause it
to not do this or? i can give some explicit details
master/slave configs if need be ( this is a small
research cluster of xserves )
thought i'd get some community insight before i end
up hosing ldap on the master with my trial-n-error
methods and i admit now that i did not try repeated
incantations of the changeip syntax in the hope
that i would eventually bring joy.
thanks!
