2008 R2 cluster. I want to add in a second IP address on a different subnet, for backups. I don't want failure of the iP resource to be service impacting.
My plan is to
-add in new ip resource to the SQL group, and bring online
-restart the whole SQL instance, so SQL picks up the new IP.
I am assuming that I don't have to add in the new IP address as a dependency for the network name resource, because I don't want any failures to trigger failover. Is this okay? I am checking I don't have to add in the new IP address as a dependency? I am aware I could add it in as an AND dependency if forced to.
