Changing Purview Appliance Settings
Use these steps if you need to change your Purview appliance settings following your initial
appliance configuration.
Changing Basic Network Configuration
To change basic network configuration settings such as hostname and appliance IP address,
enter the following command at the appliance CLI:
/usr/postinstall/dnetconfig
This will start the network configuration script and allow you to make the required changes.
You must reboot the appliance for the new settings to take effect.
Changing SNMP Configuration
To change SNMP configuration settings such as SNMP Trap Community String, SNMP User,
SNMP Authentication, and SNMP Privacy credentials, enter the following command at the
appliance CLI:
/usr/postinstall/snmpconfig
This will start the SNMP configuration script and allow you to make the required changes.
Changing Date and Time Settings
To enable or disable using NTP to configure the appliance date and time, or to manually set
the date and time on the appliance, enter the following command at the appliance CLI:
/usr/postinstall/dateconfig
This will start the date and time configuration script and allow you to change the settings.
Changing the Purview Server IP Address
To change the IP address of the Purview server, enter the following command at the
appliance CLI:
/opt/appid/configMgmtIP <IP address>
Then, start using the new Purview server by typing:
appidctl restart
Changing the Web Service Credentials
The Web Service credentials provide access to the Purview Appliance Administration web
page and the web services interface for the Purview appliance. Appliances are shipped with
a preconfigured default password.
If you have changed the credentials in OneView > Applications view and then install a new
appliance that is using the default password, you will not be able to monitor or enforce to
the new appliance until you change the password on the appliance using this command.
