Change IP on AX100 attached server
I have a server connected to 2 virtual disks on an AX100 over a fiber channel. I need to change the IP on the server. I'm wondering if that will impact the connection to the virtual disks? No way of testing it. It appears to be registered/assinged by name so an IP change may not make a difference. Just want to be sure.
Thanks!

Perfect, that's what I was hoping for.

Assuming you're using fiber channel connectivity, a change in IP on the server will not affect disk connectivity. If you wish to have Navisphere update to reflect the new IP (again; it doesn't affect it at all if you don't) without a reboot, run the server utility on the default choices. This forces the server to 'push' it's new name and/or IP to the array.
If you're using iSCSI and you're changing the server's iSCSI IP address(es), then there would be a disconnect.
