Unity cluster with one node using name and the other using iP

[Brent Rockburn]

Hey Guys,

I have two unity connection boxes setup in a cluster, one is know by name and the other by IP address. I'd like to change so that both are using the IP address. The node in the cluster that is using the node name is the publisher. Can I simply go into the cluster settings and change that to an IP address or will that cause big issues.

Thanks,

BR

Hi Brent,

Is there any specific reason why you would want to do this kind of configuration? (Just Curious to know)

I tried doing the same on my Unity Connection cluster (version 8.5(1) SU2 ) in lab.

After making the change in the cluster settings page for the Pub , I did the following :

1)Switch the Primary Role back and forth between the Pub and the Sub :  SUCCESS

2)Checked the service status on the pub and sub using "utils service list" : ALL GOOD

3)Rebooted the Pub followed by the Sub and performed test 1 and 2 again : SUCCESS

4)Checked the output of "show cuc cluster status" on the Pub and Sub again: SUCCESS

However, I could not find any document that says this change is really required under any circumstances.

I hope that helps!!!

I believe it's simply best practice. Right now we're having issues with failover to the secondary so I'm just going through and makeing sure everything is solid configuration wise.
