How Do I Synchronize the eSight Server IP Address to eSight (Linux)

V300R010C00

In the southbound and northbound non-isolation scenario, modify the system IP address of eSight.

1. Log in to the server as the ossuser user.
2. Stop the eSight service.
3. Change the IP address of eSight.
   NOTE:

   After the IP address of eSight changes, devices of some types such as IP phones and IADs need to be reconfigured. For detailed configuration data, see the access planning of each device type.

   • Change the IP address using commands. This method is applicable to the SUSE Linux and Euler operating systems.

     es_cli -cmd ipchange

     Change the IP address as prompted.

   • Change the IP address using a graphical tool. This method is applicable only to the SUSE Linux operating system.

     cd eSight installation directory/mttools/tools

     ./ipchange.sh

     In the IP Address Tool dialog box that is displayed, set the new IP address and click Modify.

4. Start the eSight service.
5. (Optional) Perform the following operations:

   For a server on which the Unified Communications, Telepresence Videoconference, Video Surveillance, and Database Application components are installed, you must delete devices related to these components from the eSight server before changing its IP address, and then add the devices again.

In the southbound and northbound isolation scenario, modify the southbound IP address of eSight.

1. Log in to the server as the ossuser user.
2. Change the southbound IP address.
   • Change the IP address using a graphical tool. This method is applicable only to the SUSE Linux operating system.

     cd /opt/eSight/mttools/tools

     ./southip.sh

     In the Southbound IP Config Tool dialog box, set New Southbound IP, select After modification or rollback, modify the eSight IP address on the device accordingly, and click OK.

   • Change the IP address using commands. This method is applicable to the SUSE Linux and Euler operating systems.

     es_cli -cmd southip

     NOTE:

     The es_cli -cmd southip command can be used in eSight V300R010C00SPC500 and later versions.
