Change QlikView server IP address

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

What needs to be taken into account if the QlikView Server IP address changes?

Environment:

QlikView Server, all versions

Single node:

• Unless the IP address was used to configure services post install, then changes to the IP address will not affect QlikView. No modifications need to be made. 
• If End Users are given the IP address rather than a server name or URL, End Users will need to be informed of the change.
• DNS records may need to be changed.

Multi-node:

The IP addresses can be changes as long as the nodes have been set in the QMC (QlikView Management Console) with their host name and not with their IP addresses.

• In the case they have been set with the host name, make sure that all users reach it through its host name and the DNSs are reflecting the change.
• In the case they have been set with IP addresses, you must replace the IP addresses of every service running on a different server that you are changing his IP address, with the new one in the QMC. And  make sure that that all users are using the new IP address to reach the server.
