How can I change IP of APIC-EM

I have installed APIC-EM 1.2. Now I want to change the IP address of this server ? What is the procedure for this

I hope I can do this without re-installation

As far as i remember , You will have to run the config_wizard from the cli of the APIC-EM cluster.

Steps:

1. SSH using grapevine user to APIC-EM

2. Run ./Config_wizard

Note: I will let others comment too. Meanwhile i will try to find the answer

Hi Rohan,

Thanks for your response.

I am getting the following error when I run config_wizard as the grapevine user. I have also tried running the command as root, but the command is not found.

Traceback (most recent call last):

how are you running this?  from an SSH session, or from VM console?

[Rasika Nayanajith]

SSH to APIC-EM as grapevine user.

Not via VM console (tried that too, but did not work, even that command did not run via console)

Hi All,

I found out the above error occurred only on SecureCRT. When I used Putty everything worked normally.

Thanks for the help

great news.  It looks like an issue with the terminal emulation.

Thanks for the update

[aradford]

BTW, what terminal emulation are you using for SecureCRT?  xterm?

Hi,

   Adding comments to Rohan's Reply As you are planning to change the host ip address for APIC-EM  you need to first ensure that the DNS and NTP servers are reachable before you run the configuration wizard and whenever a Cisco APIC-EM host reboots in the deployment. Also If the external IP address changes for your controller for any reason, then you need to re-import a new certificate with the changed or new IP address.

Please refer the deployment guide for more details.

Thanks and Regards,
