Change the IP Address for a Server

A server’s IP address can be changed without affecting the other servers

in the matrix. The following procedure uses this scenario: three servers,

S1, S2, and S3, with a single NIC. You want to change the IP address of

server S2.

1. Stop Matrix Server on server S2.

2. Change the IP address of server S2. We will now identify the server as

S2a.

3. Start Matrix Server on server S2a. The server joins the matrix, which

now consists of servers S1, S2, S3, and S2a. Server S2 is down and S1,

S2a, and S3 are up.

4. Delete server S2 from the matrix. This step will remove references to

the server.

5. Update virtual hosts and any other matrix entities that used server S2

to now include S2a.
