[erlang-questions] Mnesia crashes and restarts the Erlang VM repeatedly

Hi Arun,

You can start your erlang node with an explicit name such as
scu_plus@REDACTED or scu_plus@REDACTED which will prevent it from crashing
whenever the IP address changes. If you are using something like relx to
build your release, then you should be able to specify the node name in the
$ROOTDIR/releases/<VSN>/vm.args file.

cheers,
Chandru
