    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.

    Re: move Zenoss IP

    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.

    Re: move Zenoss IP

    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

    Re: move Zenoss IP

    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.

    Re: move Zenoss IP

    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

    NODENAME=rabbit@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
