re_ip command

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.
