HPC Pack 2016 -- Physically moving cluster to new location

Hi all,

We're moving our cluster to a new location, and while it will still be on the same enterprise network the machines will be assigned new IPs, including the intra-cluster private network (we use Topology 2).

My question is this: What is likely to go wrong? I think that the re-IP won't cause any issues beyond having to re-register the compute nodes in the cluster manager, and if the head-node also gets re-named (which is likely) then any application accessing the cluster will need it's connections updating. But beyond that is anyone aware of anything I should be thinking about?

Cheers,

Matt
