DAG with 1 Nic can it be reconfigured for 2

[brichr]

I have a test network with two database servers runing on vmware both server are part of a DAG but I set it up with one nic. Does anyone have steps i can follow to reconfigure the DAG to use a second nic?

Add the 2nd NIC to the servers, then add a new DAG Network and configure it for replication only.

would i have to suspend my replicas or delete the current copy at all or is it that simple?

if the new nics are in a different subnet would I also have to reconfigure the ip address for my dag Group?

They have to be in a different subnet. You basically want to configure them so that they don't register in DNS, too.

I did read the part about not updating dns. I made the client mapi nic the top priority on the list also. I put them in a new subnet of course, and I did not change the DAG ip address and it seems to be fine. Thanks again. It actually was pretty easy.
