 Re: ClusterXL From win2003 to SPLAT
I have the same question from the customer. Windows Management server + Windows enforcement HA migrate to leave same Management server + SPLAT HA enforcement on new hardware.
Both cluster members must be identical. This is must. I recommend to the customer the fol owing:
1. Prepare 4-5 demo licenses on the usercenter (just for emergency issue)
2. Install and configure SPLAT on a new hardware. Configure all interfaces to be in the same networks like existing but use different IPs (e.g. existing cluster members .251 .252 for new set .241 .242)
3. Initialize SIC add SPALT objects. Use demo licenses to manage this host.
*** At this point everything is sill working
Select one of the following
4.1 Create new cluster with a new addresses on the interfaces (e.g. existing .254 new .253) and reconfigure routing on surrounding equipment to point to a new cluster
4.2 Throw away bought members from existing cluster and add new SPALT nodes.
*** Use only demo licenses. Stabilize you conifg and regenerate existing licenses after a week or two.  |
