Option Description
-h ‑‑help Displays online help.
-f mapfile ‑‑file=mapfile Name of the mapping text file used to map old addresses to the new ones.
-O --dba-only

Used for error recovery, updates and replaces data on the database cluster catalog and control messaging system. If the mapping file fails, Vertica automatically recreates it when you re-run the command. For details, see Changing node IP addresses with a mapping file.

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

$ admintools -t re_ip -f mapfile-O -ddatabase

-i ‑‑noprompts System does not prompt to validate 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 it requires the -d option. This option does not require a mapping text file.
-U ‑‑broadcast Sets control messaging to broadcast protocol. This option updates only one database at a time, so you must use the -d option. This option does not require a mapping text .
-d dbname ‑‑database=dbname
