 Error connecting to the server after changing the ip address of the server
IP address, Lotus Domino, Lotus Domino 8.5
Hi. We have to change the ip address of all the mail servers in our environment. I tried to do this on testing server and found out that the server whose ip i had changed is working fine but the other server which was in cluster with this server is unable to connect to this server. I have changed the ip address in all the connection and configuration documents.Infact i have used hostname instead of ip address in connection and configuration documents. And i have also added the setting "DONT_USE_REMEMBERED_ADDRESSES=1 " in notes.ini of the server. What could be the problem.?Please help

Software/Hardware used:
Lotus Domino 8.5.1

Answer Wiki:
From the Domino Console of the servers that are not connecting type TRACE <ip address> The Domino servers cache the IP address of the server for ease of connection next time. It will then remember the change - warning check the Domino Directory to make sure PORTS tab in server documents and connection documents do not have the old IP's

ipconfig /flushdns ?

Since it has resolved the hostname to the old ip before you changed it, that info is cached. Try flushing the cache and seeing if it works out…

Enter the IP of servers in the Host file of both server.

Yup ipconfig /flushdns should do the trick!

As the other server are still resolving the old ip`s from cache,

Entering the ip`s in the host file is not good practise, keep everything on dns,
