NVP vProxy: How to manually change the vProxy Appliance network interface settings

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.

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

      link:     #2, state up, mtu 1500
      type:     ethernet, hwaddr 00:50:56:be:35:0c
      config:   compat:suse:/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0
      leases:   ipv4 static granted
      addr:     ipv4 192.168.9.151/24 [static]
      route:    ipv4 default via 192.168.9.1 proto boot
Restarting vProxy services...

nsr-vproxy01:~ # cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO='static'
STARTMODE='auto'
USERCONTROL='no'
IPADDR=192.168.9.151
NETMASK=255.255.255.0

nsr-vproxy01:~ # cat /etc/resolv.conf
search amer.lan
nameserver 192.168.9.100
nsr-vproxy01:~ #

4. Reboot the vProxy Appliance:
