    If the hostname is not changing and the new IP is in the same subnet then nothing needs to be changed from a VCS point of view.  There are a few rare exceptions which are if you are using MultiNICA agent or LLT over UDP, so just to make sure you should search for your current IP in /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf and /etc/llttab to confirm the existing IP is not in these files.

    If the subnet is changing, then this would mean you would need to change all existing virtual IPs to the new subnet in VCS.

    From an O/S point of view, if you are using redhat you need to change  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-interface-name
