Samba1 - change ip address after migration

NethServer Version: NS8
Module: Samba

After doing a migration. I had everything working fine. Then I realized I needed to adjust the ip address. I changed the ip address to the last know location of my NS7 server.

In doing so Samba is now stuck at the old ip address. I found the following items -

https://docs.nethserver.org/projects/ns8/en/latest/migration.html#samba-dc

and the following forum post -

I followed the Migration 7 steps below to change ip address on server -

To transfer the source DC IP address to the destination DC some steps must be done manually after the migration has completed.

Check the migration of accounts was successful. Users and groups must be listed correctly under Domains and users page.

At the end of the migration the source DC IP address is free and can be assigned to the destination node. Refer to the node operating system documentation to assign a secondary (alias) IP address to the destination node.

Change the IP address of the DC. For example, if DC instance is samba1 and the new IP is 192.168.1.123, run the following command:

api-cli run module/samba1/set-ip-address --data '{"ipaddress":"192.168.1.123"}'

Unfortunatelly when I try the command I get the following -

2024-07-28_05-16
2024-07-28_05-161045×124 23.4 KB

Nothing changes with the Samba1 ip address -

2024-07-28_05-19

Not sure why ip address will not change. Anyone know why?

Thanks,

You are almost there. The documented action name has a typo, Pawel already spotted it:

Now fixed in docs main branch too:

It will be published in the next days.

Awesome! @davidep

Thanks for your help. Super thankful! I used the following

api-cli run module/samba1/set-ipaddress --data ‘{“ipaddress”:“192.168.1.123”}’

as you prescribed. And it just worked! :smiley:
