Can I change IP address of ISE VMs before restoring from backup?

[lokildokil5]

I am doing a migration / upgrade of a two-node ISE cluster from VMWare to Nutanix. I'm new to Nutanix so I'd like to set up the new target VMs ahead of time with different IP addresses than my existing cluster (I'll use the same host names). When I'm ready to start the restore, I'll shut down my existing VMs then readdress target machines to match the old cluster.

Does this seem reasonable?

Ur approach works. Pre stage ISE on Nutanix with temp IPs but ensure exact hostname matching. Before cutover: 1) Take final backup, 2) Shut down old VMs, 3) Re-IP new nodes, 4) Restore using "Restore Runtime" from ISO.

Secondary node must join within 60 mins........
