How to change ip assigned to a host name?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Moved a SAP instance that was installed in a VM from one system to other. Now the problem is the new system has an ip address of 192.168.1.128 as compared to old ip 192.168.1.242. The tp of the system ran into an error. Attached is the image of the error.Used SM51 and SMGW to clear host name buffers. Did not solve the issue with them.Could give some suggestion to clear the old ip and get the instance assigned to new one

Regards,

Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,

Check table RFCDES for entries with IP rather than hostname.

Also check, SAP Note https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/403708
