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 on Dell Support. (You must be signed in with your Dell support account).

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 and network information: 

/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

      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:
