SQL Server Forum / Other Technologies / Clustering / June 2005Issues with moving existing single production server setup to a New Cluster installation
According to the documentation the chosen Cluster name and IP address need to be unused before installing the cluster. The IP address is not a problem, but it will be a difficult task with the Cluster Name as the business processes have many scripts, DTS packages, stored procedures and views that have the production server name hard coded. There are many other servers involved for updating and transferring data, so there was no way around it and I would like to keep it that way if possible. Therefore, my question is how can I reuse the production server name for the cluster without jeopardising the Cluster installation ? Hello, You may need to rename the current production server name "ServerA" to another name before installing virtual server. After that, you could reuse the name "ServerA" as the virtual server name. I hope the information is helpful.

You can't, however there are a lot of workarounds. If you are in an AD/DNS envorinment, you can create an alias record that points the old name to the new server. You can also set up a SQL alias on each client, but that is generally harder. Geoff N.
