We need to change IPs on the clustered servers including the virtual SQL Server. I found KB article 244980 that says to run setup to change the SQL IP, but am unsure of what order to change all 3... or does it even matter? The subnet mask is staying the same.
I was thinking of changing the server IPs first in Cluster Administrator, then running SQL setup to change the virtual IP, then rebooting both boxes. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

This article provides a bit more insight:
Changing the IP Address of Network Adapters in Cluster Server (230356)
Basically, change the IP of the first physical node then bring up Cluster Administrator and check the change is reflected in networks. Reboot if prompted. Fail everything over to the first node. Change the IP of the second physical node. Again, reboot if prompted. Verify the networks through Cluster Administrator.
Since the IPs will be on the same subnet, SQL Server should start up without issue. Run setup and change the IP for the virtual node.
BTW, don't forget about the IP address for the cluster name (group) itself if you're needing to change all IP addresses.

This is just what I need, thank you. Clustering is new here and I wanted to avoid any possibility of corrupting it again. It's already been installed twice.... The second time was due to server name changes 😉
Thanks again,
Linda
