Re-IP command-line options

re_ip supports the following options:

-h --help

Displays the online help for re_ip.

-f mapfile --file=mapfile

Name of the mapping text file. The file contents depend on the type of re-IP operation. See .

-O --dba-only

Used for error recovery, updates and replaces data on the database cluster catalog and control messaging system. If the map text file fails, Vertica automatically recreates it when you re-run the command. The format of the map text file is:

NodeName AssociatedNodeIPAddress, new ControlAddress, new ControlBroadcast

NodeName and AssociatedNodeIPAddress must be the same as in admintools.conf.

This option updates only one database at a time so it requires the -d option:

$ admintools -t re_ip -f mapfile -O -d database

-i --noprompts

Specifies that the system does not prompt for the validation of the new settings before executing the re-IP operation. Prompting is on by default.

-T --point-to-point

Sets control messaging to the point-to-point (unicast) protocol. This option updates only one database at a time so so it requires the -d option. This option does not require a mapping text file.

-U --broadcast

Sets the control messaging to broadcast protocol. This option updates only one database at a time so you must use the -d option. You do not need a mapping text file with this option.

-d database name --database=database name

The database name, required with the following re-IP options:

• -O
