Client is using single-node IBM Spectrum Archive EE(LTFSEE)/IBM Spectrum Scale(GPFS) cluster on RHEL 7.9 x86_64. The current version of LTFSEE is at 1.3.2.4. Client wants to relocate the *exsisting* server to other location/other network so that IP and hostname of the server needs to be changed. Local support team has asked the procedure to adapt LTFSEE for the changed IP and hostname to GDL LTFS development by LTFS RTC item #86989. Development has answered that there is no procedure to do it as of now. The server relocation is sometimes required with the relocation of customer’s server room or various reasons. Customer strongly needs the verified procedure and/or utility on LTFSEE to adapt IP/hostname change of the server asap. Note: GPFS has such procedure. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/storage-scale/5.1.8?topic=topics-changing-ip-addresses-host-names-cluster-nodes
