Changing port number, IP address, hardware virtual server, secure/non-secure setting

In the IIS site configuration change, any configuration change that affects adding/deleting a binding, or changing an IP address, port number, or host name will affect the IIS resource configuration. As there is no direct linkage between the server and this kit, you should follow this procedure to synchronize the configuration.

1. Remove protection of the IIS resource by taking the hierarchy out of service and then deleting the hierarchy.

2. On the primary server, apply the changes to the server.

3. On the backup server, apply the changes to the server.

4. Add LifeKeeper protection to the IIS resource by creating the IIS resource hierarchy and extending it to the backup server.
