When installing an agent on a host with more than one IP address, the agent will use the IP address to which the hostname is assigned. To change the IP address used by the agent to the other, do the following: 1. Become root on the host. 2. Stop the agent using: # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-stop -a 3. Change the agent’s interface by editing /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/domain-config.x 4. Locate and modify the “agentServer” parameter to the desired IP Address (or the hostname which resolves the proper IP Address) 5. Reseed the agent by running: # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-run base-usm-seed.sh -s -p -c agent where is the esmaster seed and is the espublic seed you used in the setup process for your other components. 6. Remove /var/opt/SUNWsymon/log/agentStatus.log 7. Start the agent using: # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-start -a Note: If you have any references to this agent in your topology they will have to be deleted and re-created (via discovery or manual create).
