Hi All
Firstly I hope I have the correct forum for this post.

Please bear in mind that you are advising a relatively inexperienced
administrator when it comes to iSeries administration ( I inherited the
job from the person who left - you know the scenario,)

"Who's left now that Fred has gone ?" said the finance controller (he
manages the MIS dept);
"AAhh You will do" he said pointing to me.
"But, I have no idea about and iSeries and iSeries Administration. I am
just a programmer".
"No problem" he says. "You can learn as you go along. When can you have
the new iSeries up and running live to replace the old one".

Hence this question.


Can anyone advise me on how I would go about changing the ip address of
our new i520 Express.

It has 2 IP Addresses

XXX.XXX.XXX.221 - The LAN Console
XXX.XXX.XXX.222 - This is the IP address that we use to connect all 5250
connections to and is the one we want to change.

When the time comes I wil turn the old Model 820 off, change the IP
address on teh new Model i520 and IPL it.
This will save us having to run around about 250 PC's changing host files
and also a lot of software processes that have IP addresses embedded into
them (DNSless ADO connections).

Any help will be most gratefully accepted


Best Regards

Iain Wilson
