Register the management server on the cluster nodes

To ensure your clients can always connect to the running management server, on all cluster nodes and clients, you must replace the hostname of the management server with the role name followed by the domain name.

To avoid conflicts between the failover cluster and VMS Server Configurator, pause the cluster before you start tasks in the Server Configurator. The Server Configurator may need to stop services while applying changes, and the failover cluster environment may interfere with this operation.

On the cluster nodes:

1. Right-click on the management server tray icon and select Server Configurator.
2. Go to the Registration page and click the pencil () symbol to make the management server address editable.
3. Change the management server address to the cluster address by replacing the management server address with the role name followed by the domain name, for example, https://role.company.com.

4. Click Register.

   The wizard updates your VMS configuration and starts the Management Server, Data Collector Server, and Log Server services on that node.

5. To verify that the failover works as expected, restart the node owner.
