To change the IP address of the Netview server is easy.  On an AIX host,
just use smitty inet and enter the new ip address for the adapter.

However, you must tell Netview about this change by issuing the command
reset_ci, which in turn attaches the new ipaddr=hostname to the maps.  If
you are running the Netview client with local maps, you must change the
hostname associated with the local map back to the client's hostname by
issuing the command mapadmin -u <mapname>:<client_hostname> on either the
server or client.

Finally, all devices sending traps to Netview must have the  new ipaddress
entered as a trap destination into their snmpd.conf files and their snmpd
daemons refreshed.  This is nontrivial.  On Bay Networks switches, hubs and
routers, this means rebooting them and loss of communications until the
reboot takes effect.

Good luck!
