After creating a
profile, the host name of the server or its ports might be incorrect. You can follow the examples to
change the server host name using command line tools and the wsadmin scripting tool, and the host
names of the server ports using the administrative console and command line tools.
Before you begin
Create a profile. Verify that the host name of the server and the server ports are
correct.
About this task
If the host name of a server or its ports is incorrect, then you might experience problems
such as errors when you attempt to stop a server. One example task shows how to correct the server
host name through command line tools and the wsadmin scripting tool. The other example task shows
how to correct the host name of the server ports using the administrative console and command line
tools.
Procedure
- Correct the host name for an application server using the wsadmin scripting tool
and command line tools.
- Launch the wsadmin tool.
Enter the following
command:
wsadmin -lang jython
- List the contents of the server configuration file.
Enter the following line of
code:
AdminConfig.list('ServerIndex')
- In the output, find the ServerIndex object for the application server, similar to
the following example:
cells/isthmusCell16/nodes/isthmusNode06|serverindex.xml#ServerIndex_1
- Modify the host name for the application server, similar to the following example:
Enter the following line of
code:
AdminConfig.modify('(cells/isthmusCell16/nodes/isthmusNode06|serverindex.xml
#ServerIndex_1)', "[[hostName new_host_name]]")
The command is split on multiple lines for printing purposes.
- Modify the host
name for the Daemon instance as it applies to the application server, node agent, and deployment
manager.
- Verify that the host name is correct, similar to the following
example:
Enter the following line of
code:
AdminConfig.show('(cells/isthmusCell07/nodes/isthmusCellManager07|
serverindex.xml#ServerIndex_1)', 'hostName')
The
response is:
'[hostName isthmus]'
The command is split on multiple lines for printing purposes.
- Save the configuration.
Enter the following line of
code:
AdminConfig.save()
- Type
exit
to end the wsadmin session.
- Update the application server with the changes.
- Stop the application server.
Enter the following
command:
stopServer server1 -profileName AppSrv01
- Restart the application server.
Enter the following
command:
startServer server1 -profileName AppSrv01
- Correct the host names for the ports
that an application server opens.
If you have to correct the host names of the server ports, then you can make the correction using
command line tools and either the wsadmin scripting tool or the administrative console. You might
have to correct the host names of multiple ports for a particular server. This example shows you how
to correct the host names using the administrative console and command line tools.
- For the application server, select .
- Select a port whose host name needs changing.
- Change the host name in the Host field; Click OK.
- Continue selecting ports and changing host names until you correct each of the host
names for the server ports.
- Save the changes to the master configuration.
- Update the application server with the changes.
- Stop the application server.
- Select .
- Select the server that you want to stop.
- Click Stop.
- Restart the application server.
Enter the following
command:
startServer server1 -profileName AppSrv01
Results
You have changed the host name of the server, the host names of the server ports, or both.
What to do next
You can continue to administer the product by doing tasks such as
deploying the applications that you want to run on this server.
