Change the Parent and Child Servers in a Federation

You can change both the parent server and children server in a federation.

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 parent server is running.
2. Perform the following steps on each child server that you want to change:
   1. Log on to the child server with root privileges.
   2. Execute the following command to navigate to the CA User Activity Reporting Module installation folder:

      #cd /opt/CA/LogManager
      

   3. If you are not renaming 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 
      

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

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