Change of SAP Server IP Address

[former_member229026]

Hi,

We are using operating system win 2008 server (IP address: 192.168.50.1), In that we are accessing SAP ECC6.0 Server(IP address: 192.168.50.2) and SAP Solution Manager server(192.168.50.3) through HyperV Manager, both servers are installed in windows server 2003.

Recently we are relocating our server.

Now we are planning to change IP address of servers according to our LAN.

Like :

win 2008 server IP address: 192.168.50.1 to 192.168.2.1

win 2003 server( SAP ECC6.0) IP address 192.168.50.2 to 192.168.2.2

win 2003 server( SAP Solution manager) IP address 192.168.50.3 to 192.168.2.3

Please suggest me if any impacts while changing the IP Address.

Dear Achari,

Check whether your machines are configured using hostnames not ip addresses.

look in table rfcdes for sm59 RFC destinations and see if you need to change any ip to valid host names also look at any scripts that may ftp files to your machine or so

Also check profiles/scripts/./etc/hosts etc.

Also check your transport management system, it always using hostname but check whether any IP address you have mentioned there.

Except that there is no big risk in changing IP addresses.

Hope this will help.

Thanks

regarding host names, is there a specific naming convention to be followed? I remember reading about this but cannot recall

We have set up new servers and the team has set up our server names as

ECC-Sandbox

ECC-DEV

I'm thinking the hyphen in the name is going to cause us problems for printing etc...
