We are doing hardware upgrades to two of our sites in Asia. I want to configure the Host servers and VM's here in our main office and then ship them to their respective sites. With this said, would best practices be to give the new hardware local static IP's for set up and updates, then when everything is configured, replace the IP addresses to reflect the site they are going to and shut them down for shipping? In other words 192.168.100.000 local then when they ship change them to 192.168.120.000 and 192.168.130.000.
I want to do majority of set up here in the states to cut down on work once the hardware gets to their destination. First rodeo with this type of work and would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you very much.
