You can change the IP address of the Delphix Engine either from the User Interface or using the Command-Line Interface.

For Containerized Masking, networking is handled via the underlying kubernetes infrastructure. There is no interface through the application to change the IP address. Changing the IP address of a containerized instance requires those changes to happen in kubernetes and its underlying nameservice. Frequently it is managed by the network proxy that directs traffic to the containerized instance.

Pre-requisites

  • Ensure that no masking jobs are running.

Changing the IP address from the user interface

Perform the following procedure to change the IP address of the Delphix Engine from the UI.

  1. Launch the Delphix Setup application.

  2. Go to System > Server Setup in the Delphix Management interface, or click Server Setup in the Delphix Engine login screen.

  3. In the Network panel, click Modify.

    Verify full network settings when changing subnets

    If the new IP address is on a different subnet, changing only the interface address is not sufficient. You must also update the default route, DNS servers, DNS domain, DHCP setting, and hostname as required. If you do not update these values, the engine can become unreachable and require console access.

    For details, read Set up engine network access.

  4. Under DNS Services, enter the new IP address.

  5. Click Ok.

  6. Refresh all environments by clicking the Refresh option on the Environments screen.

Changing the IP address using CLI

Perform the following procedure to change the IP address of the Delphix Engine using CLI.

1. Log into the Delphix CLI using your sysadmin account.

delphix> network
delphix network> interface
delphix network interface> list
NAME     
vmxnet3s0
delphix network interface> select vmxnet3s0
delphix network interface 'vmxnet3s0'> get
    type: NetworkInterface
    name: vmxnet3s0
    addresses:
        0:
            type: InterfaceAddress
            address: 10.1.2.3/24
            addressType: STATIC
            enableSSH: true
            state: OK
    dataNode: DATA_NODE-34
    device: vmxnet3s0
    macAddress: 0:c:29:32:96:a3
    mtu: 1500
    mtuRange: 60-9000
    reference: NETWORK_INTERFACE-vmxnet3s0-DATA_NODE-34
    state: OK

If the new IP address is on a different subnet, changing only the interface address is not sufficient. You must also update the default route, DNS servers, DNS domain, DHCP setting, and hostname as required. If you do not update these values, the engine can become unreachable and require console access.

For details, read Set up engine network access.

2. Run the update command and update the address to the new IP address for the Delphix Engine.

delphix network interface 'vmxnet3s0'> update
delphix network interface 'vmxnet3s0' update *> edit addresses.0
delphix network interface 'vmxnet3s0' update addresses.0 *> get
Properties
    type: InterfaceAddress
    address: 172.16.151.154/24
    addressType: STATIC
    enableSSH: true

delphix network interface 'vmxnet3s0' update addresses.0 *> set address=10.1.2.4/24
delphix network interface 'vmxnet3s0' update addresses.0 *> get
    type: InterfaceAddress (*)
    address: 10.1.2.4/24 (*)
    addressType: STATIC (*)
    enableSSH: true (*)

3. Commit the operation.

delphix network interface 'vmxnet3s0' update addresses.0 *> commit
delphix network interface 'vmxnet3s0'> get
    type: NetworkInterface
    name: vmxnet3s0
    addresses:
        0:
            type: InterfaceAddress
            address: 10.1.2.4/24
            addressType: STATIC
            enableSSH: true
            state: OK
    dataNode: DATA_NODE-34
    device: vmxnet3s0
    macAddress: 0:c:29:32:96:a3
    mtu: 1500
    mtuRange: 60-9000
    reference: NETWORK_INTERFACE-vmxnet3s0-DATA_NODE-34
    state: OK
