Cluster Move

  • We are moving our data center to a new location in mid May. What order should I shutdown my 2 node cluster in, passive first, then primary servers? Then bring the SAN down. After the move to the new location, get the SAN back online and then should I startup with the primary, then the passive cluster servers?

  • sounds logical.

    Stop all applications connections to the cluster before bringing down the primary at least.

    Back up all the databases as a precaution.

    I presume this is a physical move of the tin?

  • Yes, it is a physical move. About 5 miles to a brand new data center.

  • then you should be fine, just don't drop them.

    same IP addresses?

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Yes, same IPs, at least my network guys are making me change them. We actually have some movers coming in to handle the physicl move of the servers. Makes me a little worried. I'll have my fingers crossed. Thanks George.

  • Should have said the networks guys are not making me change the IPs. Whew!

  • Good luck to you , and don't forget to label everything. Doesn't hurt to take some pictures too.
