monitor daemon, will not be able to log any changes in hardware state.
2.2.5 Changing IP Addresses and Hostnames
The Control Workstation, in our examples, has a Token Ring and an Ethernet
adapter card. Each of these two adapter cards is configured using smit mktcpip.
SMIT built up the following commands:
# /usr/sbin/mktcpip -h
′
sp2tr0
′
-a
′9.12.0.37′
-m
′255.255.255.0′
\
-i
′
tr0
′
-g
′9.12.0.32′
-r
′16′
-s
′ ′
# /usr/sbin/mktcpip -h
′
sp2cw0
′
-a
′9.12.20.99′
-m
′255.255.255.0′
\
-i
′
en0
′
-t
′
bnc
′
-s
′ ′
tr0 is configured first, followed by en0. This is done to make en0 the primary
interface to the Control Workstation with hostname
sp2cw0.
After configuring the en0 and tr0 interfaces, IP addresses and host names for
nodes and Ethernet interfaces on the switch are defined. This is done based on
the worksheets which were filled in after proper planning. AIX stores all host
names and IP addresses in an ASCII file host under directory /etc. Figure 10 on
page 13 shows the /etc/hosts file.
