So I had an old core i3 micro-atx mobo as my UTM9 gateway. Added a 2-port intel gb nic, giving me 3. Set up a (temporary) virtualized UTM9 slave node in active/passive mode. The single builtin NIC was a (crappy) realtek. I just finished replacing the i3 mobo with a sandy bridge xeon micro atx mobo (2 intel gb links, plus moving the 2-port card over.) I then replaced the virtualized slave with a qotom compact celeron appliance (4 intel gb nics). So at this point, there are no realtek nics in either system. Yet, if I look at the HA Configuration screen, it shows for 'SYNC NIC' 'Realtek Semiconductor blah blah blah'. I assume this is some harmless detritus from the previous configuration? My migration sequence:
1. Shut down virtual slave and do 'Remove Node'.
2. Install minimal config on new QOTOM, and add it to HA cluster.
3. Shut down master (with crappy realtek NIC), and do 'Remove Node'.
4. Swap i3 mobo with sandy bridge mobo, install minimal config and add it to HA cluster.
5. Since master is marked as preferred, wait for the failover and syncing to complete.
At this point, the config still shows the Realtek sync nic.
Even if this is harmless, I'd love to get rid of it, but the only thing I can think of is to shutdown QOTOM slave and 'Remove Node', then switch HA configuration off. Switch it back on, selecting the real intel NIC as the sync nic, and re-add the QOTOM as the default slave. Awful lot of hassle, so I'd rather not...
