How would an administrator enter the NDB command line to change the static IP address...

To change the static IP address on the NDB VM, an administrator would need to enter the NDB command line using the cerebro_cli command. The cerebro_cli command is used to access the Cerebro service, which is responsible for managing the NDB instance and its components. The cerebro_cli command can be run from the NDB VM or from any other VM that has network connectivity to the NDB VM. The cerebro_cli command has various subcommands and options to perform different tasks, such as changing the IP address, hostname, password, or certificate of the NDB VM. To change the static IP address, the administrator would need to use the cerebro_cli network update subcommand with the appropriate parameters, such as the new IP address, netmask, gateway, and DNS servers. The cerebro_cli network update subcommand also requires the administrator to provide the current password of the NDB VM for authentication. After changing the IP address, the administrator would need to restart the NDB VM for the changes to take effect. References:
