For doing this as system user, I'm entering sys$manager:ucx$config and change the IP address of we0 interface. This work well after stopping and restarting TCP service (options 5&6 of ucx$config).

Opcom Activate Password Executive Orders. 6/7/2018 admin. What is an executive order? Executive orders are legally binding directives issued by the president.

My problem is that, if I restart the virtualized machine after having stopped via shutdown command, the IP address is always back to the old value! Somebody have any clue of what I'm doing wrong so that my change became permanent?? Regards Author RE: Changing IP address of the virtualized Alpha Moderator Posts: 477 Joined: 15.04.08 Posted on March 08 2018 16:25 The TCPIP/IP (UCX) commands have a special option, as I recalled, named 'CONFIGURATION' that needed to be added to SET, as in SET CONFIGURATION in order for the configuration to be consistent. The UCX$CONFIG procedure should be setting the permanent data base, so I do not know why the freeaxp instance is not saving the setting. SHOW CONFIGURATION should show the database. One thought though is that the UCX$* or TCPIP$* files should only be in SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]. If you have copies in SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE] also, it could cause some strangeness.

Also the default location of these files can be changed with logical names, so if the those are set differently when you run the UCX$CONFIG, then you could be changing the wrong files. Alpha/openvms 7.1 is ancient. OpenVMS 8.4 is current.

I do have try on ucx after removing the host for ip address I want change and then SET configuration interface we0 /host=ip /network=mask /broadcast=subnet and then set host 'NODE' /address=ip /ALIAS=('node1','node2' after reboot back to the old config!

I do have try also to change the interface setting directly on ucx using set interface WE0 /host=ip /network=mask /broadcast=subnet it's the same, wheter I do or not set exec state off under ncp before. Any time after reboot it come up with the old setting. I do have search in com files if there is some interface redefinition, not found yet. But with sh log ucx$configuration I found 'UCX$CONFIGURATION' = 'SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]UCX$CONFIGURATION.DAT;1134' (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE) and the file ucx$configuration.dat;1134 I do not found where this logical is defined.

After changing configuration it refere to new version number but date it's older!! And inside still refering to old ip address Edited by on March 10 2018 22:43 Author RE: Changing IP address of the virtualized Alpha Moderator Posts: 508 Joined: 07.01.10 Posted on March 11 2018 05:12 Review section 15.3 in the User Guide: Make sure the DECnet and UCX start commands are inline in the SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM and that DECnet starts first. Run UCX$CONFIG.COM, stop TCP/IP services, run all [A] of the configuration steps, exit UCX$CONFIG, and immediately reboot.
