Consideration for Changing IP Address of Hyper-V Host

Question

_{Wednesday, May 16, 2012 7:18 PM}

Hi,

We will change our IP address Scheme and I want to know if there are special consideration to know about Hyper-V before proceeding.

We have two Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise servers with Hyper-V installed and some Guest on it. (No Cluster)

Do we need to do something special and I’m I in the good way if I:

1-      Change Static IP of the Host Machine.

2-      Don’t know if I need to recreate a Virtual Network or if the existing one will update automatically with the good address.

3-      Change Static IP of the Guest Machines.

Thanks!

Jim

Hello Jim,

No special things.

Change the IP Address.

ipconfig /registerdns

(In 15 minutes it has to update dns record)

Change the IP Address of Virtual Machines

Do registerdns to all VMs.

Hi,

Hyper-V virtual switch is a switch. If you attach the Hyper-V host machine to a different subnet, the Hyper-V host machine and guest virtual machine will get IP addresses from the new subnet. Or you can assign static IP addresses to them manually.

By the way, there is no need to recreate the Virtual Network.
