@john.hidalgo (Children's Health)​ Yes, you could do it this way as we support a maximum of 4 cluster nodes, 1 active node and 3 standby nodes, but we would advise to launch the new server first and then when you are ready put in a redirect on the BCU and the old VS server then the cutover would just be the propagation time for the badge to update. This would allow you to test on both servers without impacting end users. Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions as you get closer to migration.

Thanks for such a quick response!!

Question: I would need to obtain a license file - correct?

@john.hidalgo (Children's Health)​ You actually do not need to obtain a license, we include the 4 cluster nodes as a part of your plan, so no additional license is required.

One more question (I think): can a Staging Server be put into a cluster - I want to test adding an additional server without touching production

Thanks

Great question, you can add the server to the cluster without disruption and if the server will ultimately become a production server then the IP would need to be added to the other servers as well (VRS, VSTG, VCG or VMP). Hope this helps.

Thank you!
