2.2 Actions
Take the ACS_NSF_Server resource offline on both nodes
1. Log on to the AP active node.
Follow Operational Instruction AP, User Session, Initiate and then
return to Step 2 on page 4 in this Operational Instruction.
2. Take the ACS_NSF_Server_0 resource offline.
cluster res ACS_NSF_Server_0 /off /wait
Note: This will prevent the node from rebooting if the network
interfaces get renamed to Public(1).
3. Take the ACS_NSF_Server_1 resource offline.
cluster res ACS_NSF_Server_1 /off /wait
Note: This will prevent the node from rebooting if the network
interfaces get renamed to Public(1).
4. Log off from the AP active node.
Follow Operational Instruction AP, User Session, End and then
return to Step 5 on page 4 in this Operational Instruction.

Change the IP address of the passive node

5. Log on to the AP active node.
Follow Operational Instruction AP, User Session, Initiate and then
return to Step 6 on page 4 in this Operational Instruction.
Note: A TELNET session from the active node to the passive node
will be used to change the IP address, subnet mask and
default gateway on that node.
Note: The connection to the active node must be via TELNET or
APLOC from MTS/MSS. If the connection to the active node
is via SSH then it will not possible to connect to the passive
node properly with WinFIOL.
6. Check the active node hostname.
hostname
Note: The node, A or B, is the last character in the hostname.
7. TELNET to the passive node using the hostname of the passive
node.
telnet <hostname>
Note: The hostname of the passive node is the same as the
hostname of the active node with the last character, A or B,
swapped.
8. Check the passive node hostname.
hostname
Note: The node, A or B, is the last character in the hostname.
9. Check the current IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.
netsh interface ip show config Public

10. Disable the Public interface.

netsh interface set interface Public disabled

11. Set the new IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.
netsh interface ip set address Public static <new IP
address> <new subnet mask> <new default gateway> 1
Example: netsh interface ip set address Public static
10.0.0.11 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 1

12. Re-enable the Public interface.

netsh interface set interface Public enabled

13. Check the new IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.
netsh interface ip show config Public

14. Disconnect the TELNET session to the passive node.

exit

15. Log off from the AP active node.

Follow Operational Instruction AP, User Session, End and then
return to Step 16 on page 5 in this Operational Instruction.

Re-configure the physical network

16. Re-configure the physical network connection towards the passive

node.
The configuration of the TCP/IP network connection to the
passive node should be changed at this time. This may involve
re-configuration of routers, disconnection and connection of Ethernet
cables etc.

Check the connection to the AP passive node

17. Log on to the AP passive node.

Connect to the passive node remotely using the new IP address.
Follow Operational Instruction AP, User Session, Initiate and return
to Step 18 on page 5 in this Operational Instruction.

18. Was the log on successful?

Yes
Go to Step 19 on page 5 .
No
Go to Step 37 on page 7 .

19. Log off from the AP passive node.

Follow Operational Instruction AP, User Session, End and then
return to Step 20 on page 6 in this Operational Instruction.

Change the IP address of the cluster

20. Log on to the AP active node.

Follow Operational Instruction AP, User Session, Initiate and then
return to Step 21 on page 6 in this Operational Instruction.

21. Check the current cluster IP address and subnet mask.

cluster res "Cluster IP Address" /priv

22. Set the cluster IP address and subnet mask.

cluster res "Cluster IP Address" /priv Address=<new
cluster IP address> SubnetMask=<new subnet mask>
Example: cluster res "Cluster IP Address" /priv
Address=10.0.0.10 SubnetMask=255.0.0.0
Note: The changes will not take effect immediately. The changes
will take effect when the active node is rebooted to failover the
AP below. The warning message below will be displayed.
System warning 5024 (0x000013a0). The properties were
stored but not all changes will take effect until the
next time the resource is brought online.

Reboot the AP active node

23. Reboot the active node.

prcboot

Check the connection to the cluster IP address

24. Log on to the AP cluster.

Connect to the AP remotely using the new cluster IP address.
Follow Operational Instruction AP, User Session, Initiate and return
to Step 25 on page 6 in this Operational Instruction.

25. Was it possible to log on to the cluster IP address?

Yes
Go to Step 26 on page 6 .
No
Go to Step 37 on page 7 .

26. Log off from the AP cluster.

Follow Operational Instruction AP, User Session, End and then
return to Step 27 on page 6 in this Operational Instruction.

Change the IP address of the new passive node

27. Follow Step 5 on page 4 to Step 19 on page 5 to change the IP

address of the new passive node and then return to Step 28 on
page 7 .

Check the name of the external cluster network interface

28. Log on to the AP active node.

Follow Operational Instruction AP, User Session, Initiate and then
return to Step 29 on page 7 in this Operational Instruction.

29. Check the cluster network interface name.

cluster net
Note: If the IP addresses are changed so that they are on a different
subnet then the network interfaces will have been renamed
to Public(1).

30. Is there a cluster network named "Public(1)"?

Yes
Go to Step 31 on page 7 .
No
Go to Step 32 on page 7 .

31. Rename the cluster network to "Public".

has three IP addresses, one for each node and one cluster IP address
that can move between the nodes. The three IP addresses must be on
the same subnet.
