TwitterHi,
I need to change the base ip of my FreeBsd server running plesk. I currently have a small range of ips, one of which is the base ip of the system. I've been given a larger ip range and need to make the first ip in that range the new base server ip. Currently I've added the new range as alias ips and have moved all my clients onto one of the new ips. Now all that is left is to change the base ip of the server (which is also the ip of my own website).
In my mind I need to complete these steps for a smooth transition.
1. Change the ip of my site in Plesk to the 1st in the new alias range. Then leave it till all DNS records point to the new ip.
2. Shutdown the plesk server
/usr/local/psa/rc.d/psa stop
3. Remove the alias of the 1st ip in the new range. Then edit /etc/rc.conf to make the removed alias the base ip of the server.
4. Restart networking
/etc/netstart
5. Change plesk ip settings using the reconfigurator utility
/usr/local/psa/bin/reconfigurator.pl ip_map.txt
Modify ip_map.txt file to point to the base server address
em0:<old base ip> 255.255.255.224 -> em0:<new base ip> 255.255.255.240
/usr/local/psa/bin/reconfigurator.pl ip_map.txt
6. Start Plesk
/usr/local/psa/rc.d/psa start
Have I got this right, does the reconfigurator tool need to be used if there are no domains on the ip? Please please can any FreeBSD gurus advise if this procedure will work. I can't afford to have downtime on this server, so any advice will be much appreciated .
