Hi all,
I currently have 2 x 2 node Windows 2008 R2 x64 clusters running in our release environment, with sQL server 2005 the production environment will be built when we receive the hardware.
A business decision has been made to change naming standard for our servers, and ideally I want to change node names for my release environment to fit the new standard for which production environment will be using.
From Windows Side my understanding is below.
1. Move everything to one side of the cluster
2. Open command prompt and run… cluster node <hostname> /forcecleanup
3. Evict node with command… cluster node <hostname> /evict
4. On node that was just evicted… My Computer->Right Click-> Properties->Computer Name->Change
5. Enter new host name and reboot
6. Once node is back online on a server that is still in cluster run cluster admin
File->New->Node
7. Enter new hostname and add->ok… next
8. Once node is added with new hostname, failover everything to it
9. On that node run steps 2 through 8 again (forcecleanup,evict,rename,reboot,add to cluster) from server with new hostname that was recently joined to cluster
10. Verify everything fails back and forth
From Sql server side i am unclear.
what step i have to be taken in above scenario.
please guide me ........
All comments greatly appreciated!
