Move vSZ Controllers (Cluster 2 nodes) between sites

Markus_NF — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 08:48:30 GMT

Hi everyone,

due to re-structuring our company we have to move the vSC Cluster with two nodes from one site to another.

The two nodes are virtual machines (VMWare).
The plan is:

Shutdown one node (follower)
perform a full backup with veeam at the "old" site
Import the backup at the new site
Restore the VM at the new site
Start the restored node at the new site
Change IP-Address of the restored node using CLI (connecting with VMWARE Concole)
Connect to the other node using Web interface
Change the cluster-IP Address of the restored node

Am I right with this procedure?
Or do we have to go another way?

Thank you in advance and kind regards from Germany

Markus

Make sure the connectivity between the nodes on the cluster should be less than 60ms.

Please install a new node as a new VM at the new site in vmware and once after connectivity to another node is established from new site to old site, try to install the New vSZ from new stie to join existing cluster.
Once the connectivity from new vSZ to AP and vSZ at old site is established then everything should be fine.

HTH!!!
