Changed IP on bridge; now Promox unavailable via web or SSH, although VMs running

I've got a problem I haven't run into before.

BACKGROUND/SETUP: Proxmox VE running three VMs, each with public-facing web/mail services and static, public IPs. I needed to move everything to a new IP block; all three VMs on the server were upgraded and seem to be doing their thing with no issues.

THE PROBLEM: Per the instructions here, I updated the IP of the bridge and rebooted. Now, although the VMs appear to be working I cannot get to the server via the old or new IP addresses using SSH or the :8006 web interface.

The host suggested IPMI but we're struggling with ancient firmware requiring ancient Java and not responding to keyboard input. Any other workarounds in the meantime? I should note that, on the IPMI console, Proxmox shows the old IP address above the IPMI login prompt.

Any help much appreciated! Thanks!
 
Hey,

make sure you also change /etc/hosts and (maybe) /etc/pve/corosync.conf . The instructions you've linked don't seem to mention those.
