    We would like to change the network that our vSAN witness for our stretched cluster is connected to. Is there a supported method for doing so?

     This should just be a case of changing the IP on the vsan-tagged vmk interface of the Witness. Validate the clusters data is healthy before doing so via Skyline Health.

     

    You should of course validate that the data-nodes can reach this and not need things such as static-routes etc. .

     

    An alternative would be to just deploy a new Witness with the new IP and replace the current one with it via the 'Replace Witness' button in the vSAN Fault Domains UI.

      Thank you for the response. Tried to change the IP but ran into an issue. Deploying a new witness worked.
