3. Master MDS node (shown in bold in the Acronis Storage web console).
Use the following procedure to migrate the MDS nodes in the order specified above.
To migrate an MDS node
1. Ensure that the system is in the System is stable state. If the state is Under risk, wait while the
system resolves the redundancy issues.
2. Deactivate one of the virtual MDS nodes:
a. Select the node to deactivate.
b. Click Deactivate node.
3. Assign the MDS role to the first and the second disks of a physical server. For information about
how to assign roles to disks, refer to "Roles assignment" (p. 13).
The system starts migrating the MDS and STS roles to the new node. This process may last up to
several hours, because the data within the STS role is migrated, too. The progress is displayed in
the Nodes section of the Storage tab.
4. Wait while the system finishes migrating the roles.
9.2.3 Migrating the FES nodes
 Ensure that the physical servers that will be assigned the FES role have public static IP addresses
in the external network.
 Ensure that you have created a single DNS name for these IP addresses.
For more information about network requirements, refer to "Network requirements" (p. 8).
Use the following procedure to migrate each of the FES nodes.
To migrate an FES node
1. Ensure that the system is in the System is stable state. If the state is Under risk, wait while the

2. Deactivate one of the FES virtual nodes:
a. Select the node to deactivate.
b. Click Deactivate node.
3. Assign the FES role to the first disk of a physical server. For information about how to assign roles
to disks, refer to "Roles assignment" (p. 13).
