Last published : Aug 05, 2026
This procedure is applicable only if you setting up RDC configuration in a non-shared storage environment (VMNSDg agent).
Modify the IP resource in the application service group to ensure the desired failover behavior in the RDC.
Note: For IPv6 networks, modify the IPv6 resources.
To modify the IP resource in the application service group
  1. From VCS Cluster Explorer, in the left pane, select the application service group.
  2. In the right pane, select the Resources tab.
  3. Right-click the IP resource and select View > Properties View.
  4. In the Edit Attributes window, edit the MACAddress attribute by performing these actions sequentially:
    • Select Per System.
    • From the dropdown list, select the node in the RDC primary zone.
    • In the Scalar Value field, enter the physical address (MAC address) of the network interface card (NIC) to be monitored on the primary zone system.
Use the ipconfig -all command to retrieve the physical address.
  • From the dropdown list, select the node in the RDC secondary zone.
  • In the Scalar Value field, enter the physical address (MAC address) of the network interface card (NIC) to be monitored on the secondary zone system.
Use the ipconfig -all command to retrieve the physical address.
  • Click OK.
  1. In the Properties View window, verify that the MACAddress attribute for the nodes in the primary and secondary zone are different.
  2. Close the Properties View window.
