Use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to
change the TCP/IP settings on the Virtual I/O Server.
Use any role other than the View Only role to perform this task.
Users with the View Only role can view the TCP/IP settings, but not change
them.
Before you can view or modify the TCP/IP settings, you must have
an active network interface.
CAUTION:
Modifying your TCP/IP
settings remotely might result in the loss of access to the current session.
Ensure that you have physical console access to the Integrated Virtualization Manager partition
prior to making changes to the TCP/IP settings.
To view or modify the TCP/IP settings, do the following:
- From the IVM Management menu, click View/Modify
TCP/IP Settings. The View/Modify TCP/IP Settings
panel is displayed.
- Depending on which setting you want to view or modify, click one
of the following tabs:
- General to view or modify the host name and
the partition communication IP address
- Network Interfaces to view or modify the network
interface properties, such as the IP address, subnet mask, and the state of
the network interface
- Name Services to view or modify the domain
name, name server search order, and domain server search order
- Routing to view or modify the default gateway
- Click Apply to activate the new settings.
