12.18 Virtual NCP Server IP Addresses Won’t Change

If the IP address for a virtual (NCP) server does not change properly, the problem might be caused by one of the following conditions:

The IP address has been changed only on the load, unload, and monitor script pages.

For information, see Moving a Cluster, or Changing IP Addresses, LDAP Server, or Administrator Credentials for a Cluster in the OES 2 SP1: Novell Cluster Services 1.8.6 for Linux Administration Guide.
The virtual server has an extra IP address.

IP address changes should always be made on the Protocols page of the iManager cluster plug-in, not in load and unload scripts.

This is the only way to change the IP address on the virtual NCP server object in eDirectory.
