Editing network settings

You might want to edit network settings if, for example, an IP address of a virtual machine (VM) changes, or if you switch from a DHCP to a static IP configuration.

Before you begin

You will need one or more of the following networking items: host name or FQDN, IP address, DHCP, network mask, gateway, primary and secondary DNS addresses, and search domains.
If you are changing your network settings from DHCP-enabled to static IP, you have verified the following items:
- The IP address does not contain a duplicate address.
- The gateway is reachable.
- The primary and secondary DNS addresses are ready and available to send and receive network traffic.
You must have the OnCommand Administrator role or the Storage Administrator role.

Steps

Click Administration > Configure Network Settings .
In the Configure Network Settings dialog box, modify the host and network settings, as required.
Tip: You can enter multiple comma-separated values in the Secondary DNS Address and Search Domains fields.
Click Save and Close.

Result

After you have modified the settings of your network configuration, you can use the updated configuration to access Performance Manager.

After you finish

The self-signed SSL certificate generated during deployment is associated with the host name (or FQDN) and the IP address. If you change either of these values and want to use that new host name or IP address to connect to Performance Manager, then you must generate a new certificate and restart the Performance Manager virtual machine. The new certificate does not take effect until the Performance Manager virtual machine is restarted.
