Change the Parent Server in a Federation

If you want to change only the parent server in a federation, run the utility on only the parent server and update the new parent server details on the children servers.

Follow these steps:

1. Perform the following steps on the parent server:
   1. Log on to the parent server with root privileges.
   2. Execute the following command to navigate to the utility location:

      #cd /opt/CA/LogManager
      

   3. Execute the following command to invoke the utility:

      #sh Rename_ELM.sh 
      

   4. Type the new hostname for the server and press Enter.
   5. Type the new IP address for the server and press Enter.
   6. Enter the already configured values of the following parameters and press Enter.
      • Subnet mask
      • Default gateway
      • DNS server
      • Domain name
      • Timezone
   7. Type Local as the EEMServer location and press Enter.
   8. Type the EiamAdmin password and press Enter.

      The utility performs the configuration changes in CA User Activity Reporting Module and CA Embedded Entitlements Manager and prompts to restart the machine.

   9. Restart the machine.
   10. Verify that the server is running.
2. Perform the following steps on each child server in the federation:
   1. Log on to the child server with root privileges.
   2. Execute the following command to navigate to the utility location:

      #cd /opt/CA/LogManager
      

   3. (Optional) If you are not changing the server in a virtual appliance environment, execute the following command to retrieve the existing hostname of the server:

      #touch /opt/CA/LogManager/OldHostName
      

   4. Execute the following command to invoke the utility:

      #sh Rename_ELM.sh -eem
      

   5. Type the hostname of the new parent server and press Enter.
   6. Type the EiamAdmin password and press Enter.

   The utility configures the child server with the new parent server hostname.
