Configuring the IP address on the backup console

When the primary QRadar Console fails, you configure the secondary backup console to take on the primary console role. Add the IP address of the failed QRadar Console to the backup console so that your QRadar system continues to function.

Before you begin

Power on the backup console.

Procedure

  1. Use SSH to log in to as the root user.
  2. To configure the IP address on the backup console, follow these steps:
    1. Type the following command:

      qchange_netsetup

      Note: Verify all external storage which is not /store/ariel or /store is not mounted.
    2. Follow the instructions in the wizard to enter the configuration parameters.

      After the requested changes are processed, the QRadar system automatically shuts down and restarts.
