re_ip command

Updates database cluster node IP addresses and reconfigures spread messaging between nodes.

Updates database cluster node IP addresses and reconfigures spread messaging between nodes.

Syntax

admintools -t re_ip { -h
   | -f mapfile [-O -d dbname]
   | -d dbname { -T | U }
} [-i]

Options

Option Description
-h | --help Displays online help.
-f mapfile | --file=mapfile Name of the mapping text file used to map old addresses to 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 Change Node Control and Broadcast Addresses.

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

-T | --point-to-point

Sets control messaging to the point-to-point (unicast) protocol. Vertica can change the messaging protocol on only one database at a time, so you must specify the target database with the -d option.

Use point-to-point if nodes are not located on the same subnet. Point-to-point supports up to 80 spread daemons. You can exceed the 80-node limit by using large cluster mode, which does not install a spread daemon on each node.

-U | --broadcast

Sets control messaging to the broadcast protocol, the default setting. Vertica can change the messaging protocol on only one database at a time, so you must specify the target database with the -d option.

Broadcast supports up to 80 spread daemons. You can exceed the 80-node limit by using large cluster mode, which does not install a spread daemon on each node.

-d dbname | --database=dbname

Database name, required with the following re_ip options:

  • -O

  • -T

  • -U

-i | --noprompts System does not prompt to validate new settings before executing the re_ip operation. Prompting is on by default.
