Cloning Server / Changing Server Name

Postby alfista » Tue Sep 19, 2006 11:02 am

Not sure if this is a bad idea or not, but my production scalix server runs in a VMware environment. I wanted to have a 'clone' of the server to test deployment of maintenance scripts, backups, etc before implementing on the production box.

I cloned the virtual machine and then changed the IP address/MAC address of the clone and renamed it (it was FC4). I also adjusted internal DNS settings.

I'm looking at the guide for changing server names. I ran the command 'sxmodfqdn' as decribed and then am trying to change these parameters as requested:

• /etc/opt/scalix/webmail/partner.xml (Scalix Web Access)
• /var/opt/scalix/sys/smtpd.cfg
• /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
•The INET_DOMAIN_NAME parameter in the /var/opt/scalix/sys/general.cfg file.
•Any mail address rules (if applicable)

However, I do not see the old domain name in any of the files. I did a search for INET_DOMAIN_NAME both in the forum and in the general.cfg file and it is not present there. What does the lack of this information cause to my production server?

In a possibly related problem, I cannot log into SAC on the cloned box. I never get an error, it just spins its wheels. If I log into webmail on the clone, it pulls fresh email off of the production server.

Thanks,

Jason

These two posts seemed to offer me what I need to get this going

but no luck. I guess I'll do a reinstall, but I was hoping to avoid that...

Doing a 'reconfigure' install from the source got me going.
