53 In the second Mask field, enter the Subnet Mask of the Management IP address.
54 Click Finish. Do not start vCenter Server Heartbeat.
55 Verify that the pre-populated management names and IP addresses to be used are configured and
available in the DNS servers before starting vCenter Server Heartbeat for the first time.
Renaming the Servers
vCenter Server Heartbeat requires unique server names to operate properly. To create the unique names you
must rename both the Primary and Secondary servers to ensure proper configuration and prevent name
resolution problems when clients attempt to access the vCenter Server application.
For example, before installing vCenter Server Heartbeat your vCenter Server is named “vCenterServer”.
During the vCenter Server Heartbeat installation process on “vCenterServer” you clone “vCenterServer” (the
Primary server) to create a Secondary server.
After installation you rename the Secondary server to “vCSHB-Secondary” and then rename the Primary
server to “vCSHB-Primary”. You then use the Configure Server wizard and identify the Name used to connect
to vCenter or SQL Server as “vCenterServer” thereby allowing access to vCenter Server on either the Primary
or Secondary servers.
N
OTE The Name used to connect to vCenter or SQL Server is the DNS name by which application clients
connect to the application. Normally this is the original name of the vCenter Server or SQL Server. There
is only one Name used to connect to vCenter or SQL Server and it is the same on all servers in the cluster.
N
OTE Do not change the IP address for the Principal (Public) NIC. You need only enter the Management
IP address in the Mgmt IP field. The Management IP address is unique for each server in the cluster.
