I might suggest doing this on a Friday, to allow the weekend for full propogation of the DNS changes to your server name. It can take 24 hours or more to do that, and you don't want the headache of resolving those issues during a workday. Rick _____
From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Soria, Joe Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 8:09 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Bringing Second App Server Online ** We are planning to bring up our second application server in the next few days. We will have an f5 load balancer in front of the app servers. Does anyone have experience running in a single application server environment .then moving to a multiple application server environment? I want to know how much downtime was involved as well as what issues you ran into while performing the modification. I have read over the documentation from BMC regarding this, and am getting different stories on how to accomplish this, also attempted to contact BMC support, and the two people I talked to provided no insight, they simply referred me to the same document. We have both the mid-tier and application running on the same box. Sun Solaris 9, ARS 6.3.
