    Hi, what are the steps to go from "IPAT via IP replacement" to "IPAT via aliasing" with the least effort possible? Thank you

    not tested but I would try to do it in that way:

     

    1. stop cluster

    2. create etherchannel adapters of former boot and stabdby (active-backup setup would be ok - no changes on switch required)

    3. configure boot IP on etherchannel en interface(s) on each node (optionally persistent IPs adding too)

    4. remove old ether networks from cluster topology

    5. let cluster discover new network configuration

    6. add network again with IPAT via IP aliasing enabled (it might be that also service IPs would have to be reconfigured and re-added to proper RGs again)

    7. verify and sync cluster

    8. start cluster
