5-6 Settings when changing the network settings
for the management server or when
performing maintenance
You first need to edit several settings files when you disconnect the network (to which the
management server is connected) in order to change the network settings or to perform
maintenance, or when you change the name of the management server. This section describes how
to edit the settings files.
5-6-1 When disconnecting the management server network
When disconnecting the network to change the NIC, performing hub maintenance, or other reasons,
you must change the settings files of Device Manager beforehand.
If you disconnect the network without changing the settings files, you will not be able to perform
operations on web client and CLI because the Device Manager server stops running. To return to
the status in which you can perform operation on web client and CLI, you need to restart the
machine where Device Manager is installed.
The procedure to change the settings file is described in steps 1 through 7 below. You do not need
to perform this procedure in the following cases:
• You performed a new installation of version 5.0 or later of Device Manager, and the system is
not in a cluster configuration.
• You upgraded Device Manager after a new installation of version 5.0 or later, and the system is
not in a cluster configuration.
• The settings file has already been changed.
To disconnect the network:
1. If XP Command View AE Suite products whose versions are earlier than 5.7 are running, stop
their services.
For details about how to stop these services, see the manual for your product version.
2. Stop the services of XP Command View AE Suite and Common Component.
○ In Windows:
Select Start, Program, XP Command View AE, Device Manager, and then Stop Server
with Common Services.
○ In Linux:
Execute the following command:
<common component installation directory>/bin/hcmdssrv -stop
The following shows an example of executing the command:
# /opt/CVXPAE/Base/bin/hcmdssrv -stop
3. Edit the pdsys file and the def_pdsys file.
Change the value for the pdunit parameter's -x option to the loopback address 127.0.0.1.
The default installation locations of the pdsys file and def_pdsys file are as follows:
○ In Windows:
<common component installation folder>\HDB\CONF\pdsys
<common component installation folder>\database\work\def_pdsys
○ In Linux:
<common component installation directory>/HDB/conf/pdsys
<common component installation directory>/database/work/def_pdsys
