Hi,
 
We have Storage Foundation HA for Windows 4.3 on Win2K3 & SQL with 2 nodes.
 
We want to change the IP address of the Nodes and the virtual IP of the resource group.
 
How can we achieve this? Do we need to reinstall/reconfigure from begining?
 
Pls. help
 
Best Regards

For VCS, you can offline the IP resource, which will require offline of SQL and the Lanman resource and change the IP attribute to  the new IP address. You could then online the IP resource, Lanman and SQL.

Since you are changing the node IP addresses, while the IP resouce is offline change the addresses at the operating system level, then online the IP resource, Lanman and SQL.

There is no need to start from the beginning and recongfiure everything. VCS does not need communicate with the other nodes in the cluster via IP. Make sure that the nodes can reach their Domain Controller via IP after you change the IP addresses. If you have other IPs in the cluster, for example in the CLusterService group, you may need to change these if the nodes have been changed to a different subnet.

Hi,
 
Thanks for the reply. But its not VCS. Its Storage Foundation HA for windows with SQL.
 
How can we change the IP of the nodes and the virtual server?

SFWHA is SFW + VCS, VCS is the HA component.
