The managemnt of the system settings for clustered devices has been clarified. In previous firmware releases it was not 100% clear which system settings could be edited in which case. For example the "Managemnt Interface" is a pure node individual configuration, but could only be configured on the cluster master node. The IP addresses and names of the nodes could not be modified at all. For these settings the only workaround was to disband the cluster, reconfigure the nodes and re-create the cluster.
This has been cleaned up now. The management board (of Check_MK rack1 devices) can now be configured on both nodes, independet of the cluster state.
To change the IP addresses or host names of clustered devices, you need to disconnect the cluster by clicking on "Disconnect Cluster" on the clustering page. Then you can change the settings on both nodes. After changing your settings, you can reconnect the nodes by clicking on "Reconnect Cluster" on the clustering page. After some minutes the cluster should be up and running again.
