Opsi server IP address change problem

[hubeny]

Hello,

I need to change the IP address of the opsi server from 192.168.1.24/24 to 172.25.32.38/23. I tried to do it myself following this thread viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2523. But without success. My steps are described below.


First of all I made small opsiproduct which changes the file C:\Program files\opsi.org\opsi-client-agent\opsiclientd\opsiclientd.conf and changes the line

url = https://192.168.1.24:4447/rpc

to line

url = https://172.25.32.38:4447/rpc

I run this job on client and control that the address in the config file is changed after the job end.

After that I change the file /etc/network/interfaces on the ubuntu opsi server (see the result below)

iface eth0 inet static
address 172.25.32.38
netmask 255.255.254.0
network 172.25.32.0
broadcast 172.25.33.255
gateway 172.25.32.1
# address 192.168.1.24
# netmask 255.255.255.0
# network 192.168.1.0
# broadcast 192.168.1.255
# gateway 192.168.1.18

after that I changed the /etc/hosts file on the opsi server to

127.0.0.1 localhost
#192.168.1.24 install.soma.cz install
172.25.32.38 install.soma.cz install

after that I changed the addresses in file on server /var/lib/opsi/config/depots/install.soma.cz.ini to

[depotserver]
description =
hardwareaddress = 00:50:56:93:4c:40
inventorynumber =
ipaddress = 172.25.32.38
ismasterdepot = true
network = 172.25.32.0/255.255.254.0
notes =

after that I run the command on opsi server
opsi-setup --init-current-config --ip-address 172.25.32.38

finally I changed the DNS entry on our DNS server and reboot the opsi server. The last step was reboot of the client.

After these steps the client does not connect to the opsi server. The Admin interface in the web browser works. However, the fire on demand action for the client does not work (I get timeout after 15 sec.). Further when the client boot up, there is no lock picture in the upper right corner of the monitor.

Have you any sugestions what to do else?

Thank you in advance,

Hello Jan hubeny,

First of all I made small opsiproduct which changes the file C:\Program files\opsi.org\opsi-client-agent\opsiclientd\opsiclientd.conf and changes the line

this will not work.

If you have a working DNS so you change in the opsi-configed

Code: Alles auswählen

clientconfig.configserver.url	[https://192.168.1.24:4447/rpc ]

to

Code: Alles auswählen

clientconfig.configserver.url	[https://fqdnOfYourOPSIserver/rpc ]

and wait some days/weeks until the Clients get the new configserver.url in their local config.

Alternatively you can try to route for a while the old ip to the new server.

Hope that helps,

regards,

Hello,

you mean to change the IP address of the server (/etc/hosts /etc/network/interfaces), change the depot address in file /var/lib/opsi/config/depots/install.soma.cz.ini. Change the IP with

opsi-setup --init-current-config --ip-address 172.25.32.38

anf finally change

clientconfig.configserver.url [https://fqdnOfYourOPSIserver/rpc ].

The client configuration file should be unchanged with old IP address? Or change it to https://fqdnOfYourOPSIserver/ like the server configuration?

Thank you,

to

Thìs is what I was missing on page 30 of the opsi-getting-started-stable-en.pdf (4.0.3)! If you have a working DNS it probably works both ways. So no more problems updating the opsi-server ip address.
