We plan to relocate our servers and all IP addresses would reuqire to be changed, most configuration we use FQDN so just a matter of DNS update I assume.
vCD Cell's IP is hardcoded in Cells table, what's the recommended way of IP addres? Update Cells table before startup?
Anything else we should pay attention to?
Thanks,
William
Yes, you should update the DB before bringing the cells back up. Be sure all of them have been shut down prior to meddling with the database.
As long as you used FQDN for the certificates those won't need to be changed, but you will need to edit $VCLOUD_HOME/etc/global.properties on each cell to update the vcloud.cell.ip.primary and consoleproxy.host.https properties (again, do this before starting the cells up after the move).

Thanks! and update vcloud.cell.ips properties as well.
Yes, that can be changed as well. It's used when re-running the configure tool to see if things have changed enough that a new UUID should be generated for the cell.
alternatively, you could put a load balancer in front, get the new cell up and running and do the cutover.
This will help should you need to do this again.
Hi, kmsmith
I chenged cell IP address.
I modified global.properties.
Almost OK.
But media or vApp upload failed.
I saw log file, I find out that transfer server is old IP address.
Which table of the DB should I modify?
(proxy IP is old too)
Regards.
