GMS and changed IP of POA

I have exactly the same problem as described here.https://community.microfocus.com/img/gw/groupwise/f/discussions/509394/mobility-service-and-poa-host-change

Changed IP of secondary MTA/POA. Everything looks fine except GMS. GMS somehow wants to connect over SOAP to the old IP. GMS points in configuration to primary POA whose SOAP redirection table is current.

I've restarted GMS, primary and sec server, I removed even all user from changed POA from GMS. But after I add user again, GMS wants to connect to old IP.

Where else I have to change IP?

Kind regards

    Vlado, did you run a re-install of your GMS? In most cases it will help because GMS will reread GW configuration.

    I assume that you have already refreshed your GW admin certs to fit the new ip address and dns information.

    Thank you for your response, Diethmar. Yes, I created a new certificate to include the new IP address.

    Since we need to change the IPs for several other MTAs/POAs, I need to be certain of the steps required to ensure GMS works with the new IPs. I've also reached out to support for further guidance.

    Thank you, David. I've just reinstalled GMS, but it didn't resolve the problem. As soon as I add a user from PO with a changed IP address, errors appear in the groupwise-agent.log.

    2024-09-04 00:49:39.817 ERROR [CP Server Thread-20] [gwsoap:424] [userID:ac] [eventID:] [objectID:] [SOAPRequest] Timeout error when talking to a POA.

    172.29.125.152 is old IP address.

    I received the following troubleshooting steps from support, which resolved the issue:

    1. Stop GMS and connect to the database:
       psql -U datasync_user datasync;

    2. Check if the incorrect IP address is present:
       select poasettings from targets;

    3. Remove all records:
       update targets set poasettings=NULL;

    4. Restart GMS. The records will be regenerated with the correct new IP address.

    I have published that as a TID: https://portal.microfocus.com/s/article/KM000033841

    Note, that editing databases to reflect changes in POA settings is so far only a temporary workaround. I hope that devs will come up with a "regular" solution for that.
