IP changes modifying IP for an already up and running IGL OVA installation on the appserver
We have a 7.5 P02 IGL system with remote DB, both APp server as well as DB is
OVA installation. We are trying to change the IP of app server (OS level)
using the recommended script modifynetworksettings.sh under /usr/bin which
says IP changes complete. But after rebooting the OS, the IP is not getting
assigned. Initially there was an issue while running the
modifynetworksettings.sh and it was saying "eth0 is missing, Interface eth0
must exist to use this script", however the file was present in the location
/etc/sysconfig/network. Hence commented out the part of code which checks for
this file existence and then the script was getting executed successfully.
However, after a reboot the IP goes missing.
The DB IP was changed successfully and it reflects the new IP.

OVA) can theoretically be done in many ways (like using OS tools), the use of
the script modifynetworksettings.sh is specifically for the hardware
appliance. Note that the "setup interface" provided with the G&L Virtual
Application / OVA is used to initially configure the host name and network
configuration. I have previously looked into updating the nameserver
configuration using the "setup interface" (see the discussion link below), but
can't remember if I tried changing the IP address.

ova/m-p/453536)
One option is to redeploy the Virtual Application / OVA and configure the
networking / IP / hostname etc as needed using the setup interface. In this
scenario, **REMEMBER** to first backup the .key files from the original OVA's
folder /home/oracle/security and then restore after deploying the new OVA.
