Server?
Are there any gotchas, or is it as straight forward as just changing the
IP address?
Hi,
Rob Gordon
No procedures to follow to change the IP address. You can do straight away.
Nothing will happen.

|||You will need to stop/start the service after the address change. SQL binds
to whatever IP addresses exist at service startup time.
If you are running a cluster, that is an entirely different proposition.
You should repost the question in the .clustering newsgroup.

Change the IP.

Remember to update any DNS records you may need to, and if a client
connects via the IP address, it will need changing as well.
