After renaming the host and changing the IP address - DFM not syncing the hostname details and IP details

ARAVINDHAN2HP — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:24:25 GMT

Hi All,

DFM is not showing the updated Hostname and Ip address. Still showing the OLD hostname.

Please my troubleshooting steps so far.....

DFM host delete old_hostname

DFM host add new_hostname

DFM host add new_ip also didn't work it took the old details

Still showing the OLD hostname

Tried discovering using IP and also hostname = NO Luck

When executed dfm host diag new_hostname got the following o/p

C:\>dfm host diag new_hostname

Network Connectivity

IP Address new_IP

Network None

DNS Aliases new_hostname

DNS Addresses new_IP

Is there anything to do with "Host Agent Connect Failed (transport http; port 4092)"

Thanks in advance.

If you're alright with not retaining any old data, try shutting down all DFM services except the database and do a 'DFM host delete -f <host name>' IIRC.. Then you can add it back in as you outlined above..

Thanks a lot Arumugam.. It work'd But a small Tips for other's when they try to rename and Change the IP Go with the hostname and then the IP rather than reverse.

Thanks Mike, For your response I would have gone with your suggestion if dfm rename and dfm host didn't work.

Thanks again
