Modifying the UForge IP AddressΒΆ

To modify the UForge IP address or hostname, do the following.

  1. If UForge is installed on a single node, launch a terminal on the UForge machine.

  2. Use system-config-network to modify hostname <MY-NEW-HOSTNAME>. It should also allow you to change the host name (that is the fully qualified domain name like ufiab.mycompany.com). This will apply the changes automatically to the directories in /etc/sysconfig

  3. Ensure that the changes are applied in the following locations, otherwise make the appropriate changes:

    • /etc/sysconfig subdirectory files like ifcfg-XXX where XXX is your main interface name (like eth0)

    • /etc/sysconfig/network for HOSTNAME and GATEWAY

    • /etc/resolv.conf for your DNS configuration

    • /etc/hosts for all host definitions

    • /etc/fstab for remote NFS mounts

    • /etc/UShareSoft/uforge/uforge.conf for the following entries:
      • UFORGE_PROXY_INFOS
      • UFORGE_EXTERNAL_HOSTNAME
      • UFORGE_IAAS_DOWNLOAD_URL
      • UFORGE_NOREPLY_EMAIL
      • UFORGE_URL

    • /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

  4. Modify the header, footer, IP information in /var/opt/UShareSoft/uforge-client/gwt/uforge/templates/config.xml (except for <c:uForgeUrl>) with the EXTERNAL_URL variable. For more information on modifying the portal information, refer to Rebranding Your UForge GUI.

  5. Launch the following two scripts:

    $ /opt/UShareSoft/uforge/tools/update_scripts/uforge_update.sh
$ /opt/UShareSoft/uforge-client/bin/uforge_ui_update.sh

If you have a load balancer where rules have been entered for accessing the UForge web service make sure the URIs match the following parameter in uforge.conf:

UFORGE_GF_WEBSVC_ROOT_CONTEXT=ufws-3.3

For the UForge CLI you should have:

UFORGE_GF_ADMIN_WEBSVC_ROOT_CONTEXT=ufadmws-3.3
