Assigning or Changing an IP Address

Procedure

To assign or change a static IP address, ensure that the virtual machine is powered on and complete the following steps:

1. Log in to the DPX Master Server appliance through the VMware console or connect to the DPX Master Server appliance through SSH with the dpxadmin username. For default credentials, see Default User Names and Passwords for the Catalogic DPX Master Server in the Deployment Guide. When logging in for the first time, the password must be changed.

2. From a command line, enter nmtui to open the Network Manager Text User Interface.

3. From the main menu, select Edit a connection, and then click OK.

4. Select the network connection, then click Edit.

5. On the Edit Connection screen, enter an available static IP address that is not already in use.

6. Save the IP configuration by clicking OK.

7. Navigate to the /opt/catalogic directory. Issue the make stop command and wait for all processes to stop.

   $ sudo -s  
   $ cd /opt/catalogic  
   $ make stop

8. Issue the make start command. Wait a few minutes for the Docker swarm to fully initialize before attempting to log in to the DPX Management Console.

   $ make start

9. Finally, restart the DPX Master Server virtual appliance.
