There’s another very lengthy post on building LiveSync with floating names where the suggestion was “don’t do it”, then branched into more complex things like separating webservices from the CS, etc. It’s closed for replies now though.
So, we have 3 CommCells all doing LiveSync but no floating names for the CS. We’re needing to refresh many of these servers so my thought would be to implement the floating CS name since it’s overdue, but I’m a bit puzzled since most documentation seems to speak to setting this up “at install” time, not post, many years after the fact. Is https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/104936_setting_up_failovers_using_floating_commserve_name.html relevant for refreshes and such?
Ideally sure I’d like to split the webservers out from the CS’s per best practices but given the amount of potential change here (new CS’s both primary and standbys), new locations on network (new IPs), new OS’s, etc., where’s the logical place to begin - move things via refresh steps first, then break things out or could the move to floating names be done first thereby easing the moves to the new infrastructure? We’ll have all 3 on 11.28 before any of this takes place if it matters.
thanks in advance
