Change the IP Address of a Failover Cluster Instance

[!INCLUDE SQL Server] This topic describes how to change the IP address resource in an Always On Failover Cluster Instance (FCI) by using the Failover Cluster Manager snap-in. The Failover Cluster Manager snap-in is the cluster management application for the Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) service.

Before You Begin

Before you begin, review the following [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Books Online topic: Before Installing Failover Clustering.

To maintain or update an FCI, you must be a local administrator with permission to logon as a service on all nodes of the FCI.
