Instructions

The process for changing vProxy network information is outlined in the NetWorker VMware Integration Guide, available through: https://www.dell.com/support/home/product-support/product/networker/docs

1. Open an SSH session to the vProxy appliance and authenticate with the admin account.

NOTE: If vProxy cannot be reached over SSH, launch a web console connection the vProxy from the vSphere web client.

2. Switch users to root:

sudo su -

3. Run the config_network.sh script to update the interface settings replacing the parameters with your host/network info: 

/opt/emc/vproxy/bin/config_network.sh <Interface> <FQDN> <IP Address> <Netmask> <Gateway> <DNS List (comma separated)>

Example:

nsr-vproxy01:~ # /opt/emc/vproxy/bin/config_network.sh eth0 nsr-vproxy01.amer.lan 192.168.9.151 255.255.255.0 192.168.9.1 192.168.9.100
