Changing the host name or IP

Use the vxrds changeip command for changing the host name or the IP of the Primary and Secondary RLINKs used for replication.

vxrds [-g <diskgroup>] changeip <local_rvg><sec_host>\[attribute=value...]

The argument sec_host is the name of the Secondary host as displayed by the vxrds printrvg command and is not optional.

The vxrds changeip command changes the host name or IP address of Primary and Secondary RLINKs as specified by the newpri and newsec attributes. These attributes are of the form attribute=value.

You can also use the vxrds set command to perform the same operation.
