How to change IPs adress of UIM solution

[Jose Gutierrez]

Hi guys,

I installed UIM version 8.5.1 on Windows platform. I have Database server, UIM portal server, primary HUB , 2 secondary HUBS. I implemented using IPs Address like 172.27.207.X segment but now my client wants to move to another subnet the entire solution.

My questions are:

1- ¿We can change IP Address in each server without affect the funcionality of the application?

2- If we can change the IP Address ¿what are the steps in order to not affect the funcionality?

I hope you can help me.

Regards

Jose

you will need to update all of the robot.cfg, hub.cfg files on each machine
change the data_engine.cfg to point to the new database.
this will reset your security.cfg file so it will need to be recreated or restored from backup.

We do not have have a KB on switching out IP addresses for UIM that I know of.

Hi Gene,

 

Thanks for the answer.

 

From your point of view its better not move anything? Are you agree?

If this is a relatively new installation. I would suggest just doing it clean at least for the primary hub, database and ump.
There are some KB on moving a primary hub installation from one server to another so you could look at that.
But this has to do with copying files and re-running the installer.
Not sure how this would work out for just changing the IP.

Hi Gene,

 

Not it's an old installation, we have a lot of robots deployed and configured. So I think it's better not to move anything.

 

Thanks for the help and the answers.
