Adding IP Address to the Master Host

You need to add an additional IP address to the Master host, to use Move IP redirection in your HA scenarios. (This additional IP address is denoted as RHA-IP in the following steps). This new IP address is used for Arcserve RHA internal communication and replication. This is necessary because once switchover occurs, the original Master IP address is no longer available on the Master - it switches to the Replica host.

To add IP address to the Master host

1. Select Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network Connections, Local Area Connection.

   The Local Area Connection Status dialog appears.

2. On the General tab, click the Properties button.

   The Local Area Connection Properties dialog appears.

3. On the General tab, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click the Properties button.

   The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog appears.

4. On the General tab, click the Advanced button.

   The Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog appears.

5. On the IP Settings tab, click the Add button.
6. The TCP/IP Address dialog appears.

7. In the TCP/IP Address dialog, enter the additional IP address (RHA-IP). Then, click Add.

   The additional IP address is saved, and the TCP/IP Address dialog is closed.

8. Click OK on all the open dialogs, until you close all dialogs and exit the local area connection settings.
