To set up a maintenance address prior to installing ClusterCATS:
1 Back up your system files.
2 Obtain a new IP address and new computer name. Be sure to configure your DNS
so that your new address has both forward and reverse DNS entries.

including Allaire ColdFusion.
4 For IIS 4.0: Uninstall the Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack (which includes IIS) by
selecting Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and reboot
the server.
For IIS 5.0 or NES: Skip this step.
5 Open the Advanced IP Addressing dialog box by right-clicking Network
Neighborhood and select Properties. On the Protocols tab, select TCP/IP Protocol
and click Properties and then click Advanced.
6 Select the machine’s primary NIC in the Adapter field. Add the new IP address in
the IP Addresses region. You will use this address as the maintenance address and
machine address. Make a note of all IP addresses on the NIC.
