Cluster 2008, want to add a new ip address for the virtual sql resource

  • i used this procedure, then could not restart the resources. then the cluster failed and would not restart. i got the cluster to come up in command mode, removed the new ip address resource. and restarted the cluster normally. got to be a better way????

    a.Right-click the group, point to New, and then click Resource.

    b.In the New Resource dialog box, type the name that you want to use for the resource, select IP Address in the Resource type list, and then click Next.

    c.In the TCP/IP Address Parameters dialog box, specify the IP address, and then click Finish.

    6.Configure the SQL network name resource to be dependent on the new IP address. To do this, follow these steps:a.Right-click the SQL network name resource, and then click Properties.

    b.In the Properties dialog box, click the Dependencies tab.

    c.On the Dependencies tab, click Modify.

    d.Add the new IP address from the Available resources list to the Resource dependencies list.

    e.Click OK two times.

    7.Bring all resources online.

  • are you trying to change the IP address?

  • eventually yes i want to change the ip address, currently i just want to add a new ip address to listen on for port 1433, then eventually i want to just remove the old ip address and use the new, but i have to edit all the applications to use the new address, all the while use the same old ip address and name.

  • This details how to change the IP address, incidentally why aren't clients connecting via the virtual network name?
