From dgoulet@vicr.com Thu, 22 Feb 2001 07:48:45 -0800 From: dgoulet@vicr.com Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 07:48:45 -0800 Subject: Re:IP change and TNS Names, etc. Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain JG, DNS hostnames is far more preferable. You also may have problems with any DB links where someone entered all of the TNSnames stuff into the host clause. That was a method of creating DB links that Oracle suggested for certain bugs in 7.3. You'll also potentially have problems in listener.ora ans sqlnet.ora files and on your clients if their local installs.

This meant that all out servers are going to get new IP addresses. I know that our TNSNames file has IP addresses in it that will have to be changed. What other places will I have to look to make sure everything still works when we switch? Is it possible (advisable) to replace the IP address with a DNS hostname? We are running Oracle 7.3.4 on HP/UX and OAS 4.x on a Sun Enterprise 450 Thanks JG John Grover * Systems and Database Administrator L A K E M I C H I G A N C O L L E G E grover@lmc.cc.mi.us * V (616)927-8133 * F (616)927-6589 -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: John Grover INET: grover@raptor.lmc.cc.mi.us Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: ListGuru@fatcity.com (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
