Changing RSS IP
Sh To needed to change an RSS server's IP without restarting the primary. Art Kagel advised setting NS_CACHE to zero timeouts via onmode -wm on the primary, waiting about 30 seconds, then restoring the defaults; this works with /etc/hosts. Dennis Melnikov added to update the RSS IP in the primary's hosts.equiv if it lists IPs.

Hello We need to change IP on our RSS server. Is it possible to reconnect with the main server without resetting informix (main server) ? Thanks ------------------------------ Samuel ------------------------------
You can do this on the primary:
onmode -wm
NS_CACHE='host=0,service=0,user=900,group=0,sqlhosts=0'Wait about 30 seconds to insure that the DNS has been polled, then set it back to what it was (these are the defaults):
onmode -wm
NS_CACHE='host=900,service=900,user=900,group=900,sqlhosts=900'That should allow the server to recognize the secondary at the new IP.

Hi, Do not forget to update the RSS' IP in primary's /etc/hosts.equiv, if you use it, and if it contains IP, not name. ------------------------------ Sincerely, Dennis ------------------------------
OK Thanks ------------------------------ Samuel To ------------------------------
