Changeing the IP of an NFS Secondary Storage
Hello, When I initially adopted ACS a few years ago, I inadvertently placed my secondary storage on the storage network. Surprisingly, everything functioned well in the first year.
However, issues arose when I updated the system to the next version. The SSVM failed to manage and operate the storage correctly, and I encountered difficulties migrating templates and snapshots to a different SS.
My Question:
To permanently resolve my problem, could I change the SS IP to the management network by:
1. Modifying the address of my SS.
2. Updating the address in the URL field of the image_store table.
3. Deleting the existing SSVM in the zone.
4. Reboot the Management Server (?)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Antoine

Can anyone provide insights into my proposed solution, helping me determine whether it is advisable to proceed cautiously with modifications to the management server database?

I think that works. While you are at it, I suggest using a DNS name
pointing to the SS. Should you ever need to change the IP again, you can
just change the DNS without needing to touch CloudStack.

Yes, I always use DNS everywhere. Never use static IPs in any of the
configuration.
If it's Ceph Monitors for primary storage, NFS hostnames for Primary
Storage or Secondary Storage.
Make sure you have a proper domain name to use for your infrastructure
and then just use DNS.

I think that works. While you are at it, I suggest using a DNS name
pointing to the SS. Should you ever need to change the IP again, you can
