    Hi all,

    We run a 4 nameserver cPanel-only DNS cluster. Those nameservers were installed on a 32-bit OS, which of course affects the updates now.

    What is the best means of reinstalling the nameserver boxes (OS and cPanel) whilst avoiding downtime?

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    Could you verify how the cluster is currently configured? Do you have the ability to obtain an additional server temporarily for migration purposes?

    Thank you.

    Hi Michael,

    I'm not sure what you mean by how it is currently configured. I do have access to temporary servers.

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    For instance, is the cluster configured with direct links? There's a document here that references the configuration types:

    Guide to DNS Cluster Configurations - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation

    Generally, since a cluster affords you redundancy in the event one server is down, you can simply reinstall the OS and cPanel DNS-Only on each server one at a time. Once the DNS-Only installation completes, re-add the the server via WHM Home >> Clusters >> DNS Cluster on each cPanel server that syncs it's zones to the cluster.

    Thank you.

    It's a cPanel DNS cluster, with Write-Only defined on the servers to all 4 nameservers.

    Sounds good, and thanks for the help Michael! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. :)

    The DNS Cluster migration turned into a DNS Cluster**** but a ticket resolved everything. :)
